Missions Sunday

Send Me

I think it is difficult to sit through a Sunday morning service like this past one and not feel compelled to jump on a airplane and preach the gospel to all the world. But the thing is, that isn't necessarily an option for everyone. 

Some people have medical conditions that prevent them from being able to travel abroad for foreign missions, some people are unable to get the time off work to make that trip... there are many reasons why right now in your life, foreign missions may not be something you are able to do. 

The Bible however, is very clear about our role in the mission field. 

Mark 16:15 "And He said to then, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." 

Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations..." 

It doesn't say if you feel like it or if you are able, it simply says GO! 

But maybe you can't just take off and go right now. However I believe there are other ways you can GO without ever leaving home. 

One way is to Adopt a Child. We had a booth set up on Sunday, and we were able to adopt nearly all of the 50 children that we had names for. It is only $30 a month, and provides so much to a child in need. These children are provided medical care, are able to attend bible classes, and are trained to become leaders within their communities. However if you missed out on this opportunity, you can follow the link below to Sponsor a child.

Another way is to give monetarily to those who are able to go on these trips. Our church has two trips scheduled for 2016, a youth trip and an adult trip. Our mission team always works very hard to raise the funds needed for this trip. What if you made the decision to donate now? What if you set aside $5 or $10 every week to put in the offering plate in addition to your tithe? What Kind of impact could that money make on the missions field? 

Maybe you are reading this and you feel a deep desire to to further God's Kingdom on the mission field. A youth trip is scheduled for sometime in the summer of 2016 and the adults trip will be in the fall of 2016 (we will not know exact dates until closer to time). Applications for both of these trips can be found at the link below and you can email your completed application to mharper@victoryhill.us
You can also pick up an application at the connect center.

You don't have to be a super hero to make a difference in the world, all you have do is go.,. 

Isaiah 6:8 "The I heard the Lord asking 'Whom should I send as a messenger to these people? Who will go for us?' I said, 'Here I am, Send me".
