How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace

Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Good morning friends and dear readers, well one of the most exciting weeks of church is about to start happening at ours! It's missions time, not that we don't regularly have missionaries come through, but this is a full revival and time for faith promise giving! I am extremely excited because I can't wait to see what God has for us! I have always loved missions revivals, I remember the very first one I every made it a point to attend after I had been saved, there were 2 national pastors from Nigeria and their testimony was awesome as to what God did in their lives and what He was doing in their country. Our God is truly an awesome God! Well I know that I have been praying that the people of our church have been preparing themselves so that we can be a blessing to the few missionaries that will be with us this week. We have a few families and then 3 national pastors visiting with us! I personally think that if we make it a point to be in the services that God will touch our hearts after being able to hear and speak with the national pastors. Friends it becomes hard sometimes to understand what God is doing in other countries when we don't take the time to listen, and here we are going to be blessed with having an actual convert, and men of God that has submitted their life to reaching their own people Glory to God! I also get very fired up for the missionaries of this country that we are able to send, becasue they are submitted to God to leave all that they have so others may hear the gospel message! Friends let me encourage you to get involved with your missionaries if you aren't already, a few easy ideas is to ask your pastor if you and your family may send birthday cards to the ones you currently support that would be an encouragement to them! Another idea is to just write back to them and tell them what's going on and that you are sincerely praying for them! There is so much you can do to support the propagation of the Word of God you just have to get involved! Here is the following countries that we are able to host this week:

  • Tanzania
  • Puerto Rico
  • Philippines
We support over 25 missionaries out of our little church right now, and we thank God that we are allowed to take part in their labors. Our Missions Revival goes from this Wednesday through this Saturday so I will try to update you daily as to what is taking place and how the Lord is blessing! Friends my prayer for today is that we could all see the need for others to hear the gospel message, and that we would not be blinded by the world and the work that needs to be done in our own backyards. I pray that we would get a true burden to see the people in the uttermost be reached and evangelized for Gods honor and glory! May they be a crown of rejoicing when we are called out of this world, and we are gathered together with the Lord! Friend where do you fit in today in sharing the gospel message, is it through personaly evangelizing in your own community, are you supporting missionaries, or has God maybe burdened you to leave all that you have and go into the world to tell others about Jesus? May your day be blessed and may you take time to pray for your pastor, and for your missionaries.
