BE A GREAT COMMISSION CHRISTIAN


Dear Church,


Do you realize that God is a missionary and he expects us all to be a missionary in one form or another?


He left the comfort of His throne in heaven and came to earth in order to save us. This is the extent of His great love for us.


Today is Missions Sunday. This Sunday is especially dedicated to give every New Lifer an opportunity to be a 'missionary' whether in kind, in encouragement and prayer or being part of a missions' team to another nation.


Blessing nations is one of the three vision statements of our church and I encourage every one of us to be part of it. The harvest truly is plenteous as we approach the Day of the Lord.


Rick Warren wrote, "More and more people need to find the Lord as their lives are being embroiled with the conflicts happening in every nation all over the world. People are most receptive to God when they are under tension or in transition. Because the rate of change is increasing in our world, more people are open to hearing the good news now than ever before."Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it" (Habakkuk 1:5 NLT)


These are excellent opportunities for us to touch the nations and because of your participation, New Life is touching nations- in our own nation of Malaysia, in India, China, Thailand, Russia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Australia etc.


The Gospel of the Lord is doing exciting things all over the world.


"This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives..." (Colossians 1:6 NLT).


Plan and save up for a mission trip this year. One mission trip can do more to boost your christian faith than many sermons. Your heart will be enlarged and you will experience the reality of God.


Church, Let’s be a Great Commission Christian and link hands together to touch the nations for the Lord.


Love,
Pastor Ron Hee
