Don`t give up MISSION....

.... it is God`s idea. Today I want to encourage you. Don`t give up MISSION. 

                                                

To be involved in MISSION is a blessing:

A. For The Receivers. Those who walk in the darkness…. will see the light breaking in. A grandmother came to us with her granddaughter who was abused. (Now the perpetrator is in prison). She and her granddaughter came very scared. I wished her God's ความสงบสุข = Peace and she is a Thai but responded: What is ความสงบสุข = Peace? One Thai explained for her what God`s Peace is. She left us after 3 weeks.... full of God`s Peace.

Often I think: 

B. For The Senders A blessing for those believers who cannot go, but can pray, send others and can send money. Anna and I felt God`s leading 1972 just when we got married to sponsor a child in India. It blessed us. Be a blessed Sender. Without Senders we are lost.

C. For The Goers. Yes Mission is a blessing for us who are going…. to new Pioneer areas. We see many Missionaries coming and going. To coming as a family with school children to a pioneer area is hard. How can my children go to school? Many are struggling with: How to start a church? Which method is fruitful in this place? And for some, Mission is hard because we want to be close to our grandchildren. We understand all these hardships.

Ubon-Pakse is a pioneer area with very few Christians. And most Churches are very small.

D. For the once we train. Most ecouraging with MISSION is that it is is contagious. The local nationals also get the calling and are blessed. So they bless others, who bless others.... This we see happening right from the beginning in a new place. Also here.

 

Today ….. the cry from UBON-PAKSE is: don’t give up MISSIONS. Ingvar (Fred)
