Sunday we had church service in our “quad” in the common area of our apartment building. We have been studying Acts starting from the beginning and we will go through all the chapters, one each day. Sunday we were on the story in Acts 6 where Steven the newly appointed deacon, was out preaching the Word.
I made note that Steven wasn’t the missionary in this story, but an active deacon in the local church. As I made this observation I also realized Teresa and I were in a room full of missionaries. The range in age was from 6 to mid fifties. We are going to many different counties and we all have one purpose, one God, one Redeemer, one message. I would love for you to meet these brave souls however, some of the countries they are going to are not happy that a missionary would be coming. In those instances they are getting into the country by teaching English or running a business. Therefore, I cannot tell you their names, but I can show you their picture.
Rom 10:15 How can people tell the Good News if no one sends them? As Scripture says, "How beautiful are the feet of the messengers who announce the Good News."
Isa 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces the good news, "All is well." He brings the good news, announces salvation, and tells Zion that its God rules as king.
We all may have different job descriptions yet all have the same message, announce the Good News of salvation!!!
