~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: World Gospel Mission World Go! Manual, World Gospel Mission, 2008. 110 pages. Available in print for US$10 or downloadable (for free!) What do you think of when you hear the word missionary? Do you think of a super-spiritual someone who has dedicated his or her life to serving in a particular foreign country for years to preach the gospel and plant churches? Well, those guys are awesome! But Christ really has called each of us as Christians to minister, to help the oppressed, to preach the gospel - essentially to be a missionary wherever we are. Regardless of where we live, how we earn our paycheck, or how capable or incapable we feel, we are to be emissaries of Christ. In other words, that "we" in the following verse pretty much means all of us: "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal though us." (2 Corinthians 5:20) And that's what this manual is all about. Each of the nine sections includes a story, a summary with scripture references, and suggested action items for the reader. |
In little more than ten years St. Paul established the Church in four provinces of the Empire Galatia; Macedonia, Achaia and Asia... Today if a man ventures to suggest that there may be something in the methods by which St. Paul attained such wonderful results worthy of our careful attention, and perhaps of our imitation, he is in danger of being accused of REVOLUTIONARY TENDENCIES. --Roland Allen
