Hmm,  the last few months I've been feeling stronger and stronger that the Lord is calling me into missions and/or ministry of some kind. Missions is one of the most important responsiblities that Christians and the church has today.  About 2 billion people have never even HEARD the name of Christ much less have the chance to accept Him into their lives. There aren't enough workers out there right now to evagelize everyone. God's heart beats for people, He longs for them to know Him and have a relationship with them.  The more you seek God's heart and reach it and learn what makes His heart come alive you'll see it's people.The people of the earth, they're all His children they've been captured by sin and held hostage. We have the truth, if you saw a person getting ready to take a drink of poison and you knew it, wouldn't you scream and run and chase them down and strive with all your might to stop an impending tragedy?

It's easy to say sometimes, oh, it's so overwhelming! So many people are going to hell. Well, all we have to do is sit back and not do anything and yes people will go to hell. They're already on their way.  Every Christ follower is called to share the good news. I know that doesn't always mean being a foreign missionary but maybe it does. It's not fair to those people to expect to live a safe comfortable life at their eternal expense. We get so busy argueing theology and making sure our point is made that we forget that first and foremost we are called to make disciples of all people.(matthew 29:19-20)

We have so much here in our country, we have so many bibles any version you want!, a whole christian music industry, churches on every corner, devotionals, huge youth ministries, ect ect. And yes, i know the American church is flawed and isn't perfect but the point is that we have so much here. So much truth. With much privilege comes much responsiblity.  Think far back way way back beyond the starting of our country, before Europe was sectioned into countries, how do you think we came to know about Christ? Missionaries! The early church sent out workers to evangelize the 'barbarians'(aka. most of our ancestors!). They taught the tribal people about the Lord and that spread all over the continent and the work they started flourishes to this day in you and I.

People are dieing everyday, without even the chance to say yes or no to Jesus. "Then he said to his disciples, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." Matthew 9:37

Pray and ask the Lord to show you what you can do. Maybe He has called you to work in a foreign field or with a people that haven't heard of him. Maybe he's called you to continue a work that has been started but still needs advancement.

Our God is a God of missions, His heart beats for the people of the world. Our brothers and sisters in darkness.

Will you feed me?

Will you love me?

Will you teach me? 

Will you give me hope?

Will you tell me about Jesus?

Who will take up the torch and go?

I am going to start a series about woman missionaries. God has used men, couples, and single women missionaries in furthering His kingdom. I am going to focus on some of the women missionaries and their work.
