Its time to take it to the next level. Previous missions have been to re-connect with people, talk to people, and so on. Now let’s go a step further.
Have a spiritual conversation with someone.
It may be someone who is not a Christian. It may be a Christian who is walking in sin. Tell them about the glory and grace of God. The love and the way of Jesus. Then tell us how it went in the comments section below.
We always hear about the importance of relationships. Global missionaries tell us of the importance of using the home as a way to build relationships. Yet, many times our homes can be very private places. This week’s mission is:
Host a friend or acquaintance in your home.
Here are a few suggestions of what to do:
Just open up your home and spend time building relationships with people far from God or wandering from God. Practice hospitality. Serve them. Pray for them. Be a missionary!
This week’s mission is to be in prayer for what God is doing globally. For Mountain Creekers, be sure to pray for our team in Canada and for Southwinds Church. Pray that God will work through them and in them. Pray that God will show them up close and personal how He is moving in post-Christian Canada.
[Update: Just found out that Jeff Sims will be blogging Canada team updates at here.]
Here are a few other specific prayer needs you can pray for:
Also, stay aware this week of global news and be in prayer for specific world situations (like the bloody election in Zimbabwe). Click here for more news sites than you could ever want.
Pray that the glory of God and the good news of Jesus will spread among all nations and tribes.
Alright boys and girls, Mission 4 is ready to roll.
But first, let me remind you to tell us your stories. Post a comment here on the site or write on the wall on the Facebook page. Let us all hear of what God is doing in your new life as a missionary!
Now for mission 4:
Start a conversation with someone you don’t know.
You don’t have to break out the 4 Spiritual Laws tract, but do break out your personality and engage someone in conversation. Interacting and talking to new people as you go about your day is a good habit to make. Let’s start this week!
Mission 3 is simple. Think of a friend you haven’t talked to in a while who is far from God.
Call him. Call her.
Re-connect. Catch up. Pray for him or her before you call, silently while you are talking, and afterwards.
Maybe make plans to talk again soon, go to lunch, or to catch a movie.
Rebuild the relationship. Help build the bridge to Christ.
It’s amazing how few people really know their neighbors. Sure, you might know what kind of car they drive, what time they normally get home, and perhaps their names. But do you know about them? Do you know them?
This week, actually have a conversation with a neighbor. Doesn’t have to be about deep life issues. Here are some examples of conversation topics (feel free to add more in the comments section):
The possibilities are endless. Just engage a neighbor in a conversation. Let them know you care.
And if you haven’t had a chance to accomplish Mission 1 yet, don’t worry. There isn’t a statute of limitations on these or anything. Just do it when you go out to eat this weekend (and keep doing it everytime you go out to eat).
Don’t forget to tell your story in the comments section below or on the Facebook fan page!
It’s time to kick off WeAreSent.com and be a missionary where you live, work, study, and play. Here is the first mission:
As you eat in restaurants, ask the waiter/waitress if there is anything you can pray for him/her about.
This is a great way to get to know the waiter/waitress at a deeper level than as the person who takes your order and brings you your food. It will be especially beneficial if you eat at the restaurant regularly.
You may something like, “It is our custom to pray before we eat. Is there anything we can pray for you about today?”
You may get a weird look. You may get told no. You may have caught the waiter/waitress on a horrible day and he/she really opens up and appreciates the prayer. You just never know. Be sure to be praying before you go to eat that God would send you to just the right person–that he would use you in a waiter/waitress’ life this week.
Remember: You are sent!
WeAreSent.com is an experiment.
WeAreSent.com is a dream.
WeAreSent.com is new way of living.
A little extreme? Maybe. But what if God sent you to this earth for more than to make good grades, good money, and good times?
What if while you were making good grades, good money, and good times you were also making disciples? What if you became a missionary where you live, work, study, and play?
WeAreSent.com is here to equip and challenge you to live as a missionary.
