UNTIL THE LAST VILLAGE HEARS (1)
The Great Commission is the mandate of the Church, and all who belong to Christ are sent; also missions is not a department of the Church but the calling of every believer. Not everyone is called to cross oceans, but everyone is called to bear responsibility. Some will go. Some will stay and send. Some […]
WHAT IS THE BUINESS OF THE BELIEVER?
Who is JESUS? What is the work of THE HOLY SPIRIT in the believer? How does a man live the life of RIGHTEOUSNESS? What does it truly mean to be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT? How should a believer deal with sin? What is the NATURE and POSTURE of the human heart before God? What […]
DISCIPLESHIP IN MISSION
The mission of God, as revealed in Scripture, is accomplished through discipleship. Jesus Christ did not commission the Church to merely win converts, but to make disciples who live in obedience to His teachings and reproduce His life in others. His final command was for us to “Go ye therefore, and TEACH all nations… teaching […]
WHAT IS DISCIPLESHIP?
Matthew 28:16-20; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12 What is discipleship and what is Jesus calling us to in Matthew 28:18-20? Is this a command, or a suggestion; does it mean we are just to evangelize and let people find their faith on their own, or does this mean we are to lead others and teach […]

THE YEAR OF DISCIPLESHIP
There is a path we long to walk this season, though QUIET and often unseen, not adorned with treasures of this world but lots of labours and commitment. It is THE PATH OF DISCIPLESHIP, which is a daily choosing of Jesus, a life shaped by His WAYS, and a heart surrendered to His SPIRIT (Luke […]
Dear Missionary (6)
I write to you as one who understands the journey, from inside the dust, sweat, silence, and unseen labour of the field. I want to tell you about CONSISTENCY. Consistency is one of the hardest demands of the missionary life, not because you don’t love God or because you are lazy, but because the work […]
Dear Missionary (5)
When Obedience Takes You Away from Comfort! This week, despite the economic crisis and the insecurity, many people will still travel home. Some will cook special food, like they have never done this year at all, others will wear new clothes, and sit with their families to celebrate Christmas, but you may be somewhere else, […]
Dear Missionary (4)
DEAR MISSIONARY, When Don Richardson arrived among the Sawi people of Papua, New Guinea, he was offered a meal that tested more than his hunger.
