week of prayer for missions

“We are able to share the hope we have with them.”

That is a quote from a family serving in Nepal. They are actively sharing Jesus in creative ways as all of us are called to do wherever we are.

This week is set aside by our mission board as a week of prayer for international missions. As a pastor and a Christian it excites me to hear stories of what God is doing around the world. God continues to change lives.

I have met some people who serve or have served in various places around the world in the name of Christ. I have had the opportunity to travel to a few countries and see the work that missionaries and mission projects are getting done. And each of us can be part of this week. We can be part of the work even without leaving where we are right now.

We can give. Your church has mission projects and missionaries. Choose to give. Our churches annual mission offering is taking place right now. Our church is currently taking up our annual mission offering that we would love to invite you to take part in. You can go to the following link and choose missions https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving

You and I have been given the opportunity to share Christ where we are and to help Christ be shared in places all around the world. Will we take part in what really matters?

Acts 13:47 NIV

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “ ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’

Be light. Do that by being on mission, giving to missions and through prayer.

Pray. One of the biggest and most likely the best way to be involved in missions is to pray. Pray for the people you know and the ones you don’t. Pray for places and people around the world. People in every place, every corner and in every country need the same Jesus we have found!

1 Chronicles 16:24 NIV

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

If you are part of The Community Fellowship, I challenge you to give your best gift possible to our annual mission offering. We will take this offering through the end of December. Send your gift to The Community (PO Box 388, Collinsville, VA 24078), bring your gift to church on Sunday or any day we are open, or give online at https://tcf.ccbchurch.com/goto/giving. Thank you for doing what God called all of us to do. Be on mission sharing Jesus with the world!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
