God has called ministers to the mission field of America, Praise God for our home missionaries!
He may be a chaplain that serves in the slums of Los Angeles, maybe one who ministers to soldiers.
She may work with homeless women or orphan kids in Mississippi, or they may serve elderly in
homes left alone and sick by family in New York. Perhaps, they help disaster victims across our country.
Or maybe they are home missionaries to prisoners in Louisiana.
Our own Missionaries here often go unnoticed by the local church,
local body of Christ and those right there around them as they faithfully
sacrifice many comforts as they serve.
Yet look at the millions reached right in our own big cities and small towns.
We may not notice these warriors of Jehovah.
Yet like all missionaries, they are reaching so many people that would otherwise may
never hear the very message we all long to give them:
“Jesus Christ is so in love with you. He died on the cross for your sins for my sins.
He changed my life and healed my hurting heart, and Jesus can change your life too.
Let Him have your heavy burden and make you a new creation ”
AMEN a celebration in Heaven for precious souls added in the family of God.
This IS our home Mission Field:
our own backyards, schools, jails, rehabs, gangs, homeless, abused, abandoned…
right here America!
There are so many of those who minister to prisoners, a dark American culture that most
of us simply cannot fathom.
Prisons, jails and gangs have a dangerous world of their own making –
their own leaders, loyalties, rules and traditions.
Outsiders especially Christians risk much going into places where they at first are not wanted.
Yet God moves and saves so many. Most never have a Bible.
Like all missionaries, that are solely supported by gifts and offerings
who never receive a salary from a prison, a government allowance or get paid
any where at all they need help.
There is a major lack of support and knowledge in the US for our US missionaries!
Most rely solely upon the church community and individual Believers,
on ME, on YOU, on us to support their ministry work.
I think the lack of support for true Godly American Missionaries has a lot to do with
BIG TV EVANGELISM, the millions raised on TV for Godly causes as well as the scandals
has the Christian mindset completely off of the “fools” for Christ that like our Lord Jesus and His deciples
don’t have a glamourous calling.
When Jesus said: “Go into all of the world and preach the Gospel,”
He started with a command to take the Good News to our own lost communities.
Home missionaries, like foreign missionaries, have committed themselves to a lost world.
God calls those to stay here yet the places they go are much like going into distant lands
to bring the hope of Christ, just like going deep into the down and dirty of this world
we would never ever want to enter.
They go into new, hard to reach areas, and plow new ground, oftentimes in hostile settings.
When a crack head smokes no more, the thief steals no more and the blind now see,
yes THEN everyone rejoices and someone might notice.
But are you and I there for the work?
Are we there when the preacher cries because he has no gas to get to the next jail 100 miles away?
Are we there when our own missionaries in our own town are silently doing without?
Sadly we usually fail to help.
However, we DO have the opportunity to serve God, His Servants and the lost.
We can so easily help them by sending them Bibles to give, our gifts and our prayers.
Yes we all have the opportunity to go with them.
Are you interested in fulfulling our Lord’s Great Commission by raising funds
for Bibles for the “out there” servants to share with the hurting?
We all know God is the only hope and comfort that will truly help the seeking.
His Word will bring diliverence and a NEW BIRTH! Help send a Bible today.
God will bless them, you and everyone involved! Eternally
at that. Plant a seed today, God will sent the ones to water and God will give the increase,
and blessings will abound pressed down and over flowing both in this life and when Jesus comes to take us home!
Bible giving and missions outreach to the lost HERE in the United States is an essential part
of the our LORD’s work He has called His children to do, so ALL of His Kingdom children
will come into the fold so we can finally GO HOME!
Christian, provide Bibles to others because it was HIS WORD that saved you,
provide Bibles because you LOVE our Heavenly Father!
Buy Bibles, take up offerings, ask others to join you because your heart and soul desires to share Christ.
How blessed would you like to be? How rewarded Church body
can you bear to be? What better joy than knowing God Almighty
is pleased with you, is smiling at you, is using little ole YOU for His GLORY?
I pray The Holy Spirit move us ALL,
each and every one of God’s children to
support the ongoing work that Missions, Outreaches, Ministries and individuals here in America are doing.
We must be a part of it too, we MUST as we are called
No overseas trip required.
NOTE from Missions Bibles
We do support numerous worldwide Missions and ship Bibles we wholesale globally on a regular basis,
we encourage that too, the lesson here is please
don’t forget our own here are preaching and our own are lost and hurting as well.
