missionary

There's a church in my area that I attended for a couple of years early in my faith. I left not over sin issues or arguments, but needing to make things right and needing accountability. I know several people who attend there still, and just recently, the founding pastor at the church, the lead...

Hello my brothers and sisters in Christ, I have a non-christian friend, who wants to convert, but his mother (an Atheist) and his grandmother (a catholic) don't want him to convert. He started asking me question about Jesus, differences between catholic, protestant and orthodox since September...

We commemorate the coming of these two missionaries to Great Moravia, today. They were the first to bring understandable message of Christianity to the Central Europe. Priests from Great Moravia later brought the work to the Eastern Europe, too. They also created the old Slavonic font to be...

Hi, everyone, I hope to get to know you. I'm a missionary in South America. I've been here almost 8 years. Originally, I'm from Holland in Europe. Then most of my life, I lived in Gainesville, FL. My goal is to see as many people come to know our Savior before I die. (I'm scheduled to die in...

Hi all. This post is inspired by some exchanges I had on a different thread about literally obeying the teachings of Jesus in the areas of materialism, helping the poor, working for money, and going into all the world preaching the gospel. My understanding is that Jesus calls all Christians to...

Hi all. The video is roughly 10 minutes. The title is based on a popular idiom illustrating the absurdity of ignoring something as large as an elephant in the same room as us. In this video, that elephant is the teachings of Jesus; what did he expect from his followers in practical...

Jesus instructed His disciples to go to all nations and preach the gospel and then the end would come. They did go to all the nations and so the end could come (in their lifetime.) In Acts 2:5 Peter preached to "devout men from every nation under heaven." Luke lists the nations this included...

It's been a rough week for our church family as we have another member who is currently gravely ill. Please, I ask for prayers for Sarah who is a missionary in Thailand. She needs emergency medical attention and needed to be flown from Thailand to the United States. They were in Korea yesterday...

I wrote this a few years back for a college essay contest. I didn't win... But I found it again in my files and thought it might be worth sharing here. Assurance and the Shooting Star There are a few things that I miss. I miss a place that I once called home - and still do, but in a...

Im a missionary child here in Asia. Pretty young for my height.(18 years old and and around 5'11) I Love art but love Jesus more. I try my best to stay in contact with our Heavenly father but sometimes it's challenging. Im not where I think I should be spirirually, socially, financially, and...

Hi all! I have a question about missionary trips. God has told me to go to Ghana. I want to go on a missionary trip for a week or two, but I don't want to go alone. Are there any churches you recommend getting in contact with who go on these trips? Or do you know of any missionaries who have...

Mahavir stared at his gift. Proper shelter for his family was just within his grasp, but something troubled him. He came to the GFA-supported Christmas gift distribution in desperate need of tin sheets, but now that he had them, he realized he faced another problem. How would he ever get the...

Hey guys, My name is Michael, and I just found out about this forum. Recently I have been more and more convicted that God has sent us not only in to the world, but also into the "virtual world" online. I have been interviewing Christian business owners about how their faith impacts the way...

Thursday, July 13, 2017, 11:11 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “It All Depends.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read several scriptures (in the ESV) on the subject of the call of God on our lives. Send Me (Isaiah 6:8-9a) And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall...
