Do you know what you missed out on?

I went to a missions presentation this afternoon and it was very encouraging. The minister shared from the bible about Jesus' mandate to reach the nations and how that included the different stratas of our society and not just overseas. He then interviewed some people from the congregation who had recently returned from short-term trip to China. The state director of our mission shared about the vital role of the sender for missions. I found the afternoon very encouraging and learnt lots. My only disappointment was that more people from this church weren't there to benefit from the presentations. In one of the largest evangelical churches in Sydney only about 20 people from all the different congregations attended. It was a real shame. They won't know what they missed out on ...

• Pray that our churches will not ignore the mission heart of God
• Pray fhat Christians will not think that missions is just for the 'enthusiasts' or the superspiritual but that everyone has a role in God's mission, whether they go or send.
