Some of the heroes of God’s global mission are not just those boarding the planes, trains or other means of transportation in order to teach or serve or preach among unreached peoples.
They serve at home on the mission committee.
These are the folks who meet in a church boardroom or classroom on the first Monday evening of every month to pray, plan, and wrestle with how to help their church do global missions well. It’s a job facing many important questions:
And this is just a sampling from those monthly agendas…
So whether you serve a church of 30, 300 or 3,000 we want to recognize your service behind the scenes that enables missionaries to be sent out. They, in turn, can present the Good News about Jesus to those who may never have heard, and the impact may be eternal! We send out a SHOUT of encouragement and thanks to those faithful missions committee volunteers who invest hours of energy, love and prayer into God’s work to make His Name famous around the world!
We, together with your churches, thank the Lord for you, and pray for VISION, JOY and ENCOURAGEMENT. Thank you for your service.
"And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?" - Apostle Paul in Romans 10
