Missionaries

"He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16: 15-16
 
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14: 18

In these verses God encourages us to go spread his name among all creation and that he will not abandon us. I love this quote I read recently "It's not where you are it's the mission that makes you a missionary!" Have you every thought about it like that? Or did you think that you had to be on a mission trip to be a missionary maybe you thought you needed to leave the country or leave your state to do mission work. The bible says that isn't true anywhere we go we have the ability to share God's name and that makes us missionaries. 

• At your favorite coffee shop.
• At the grocery store.
• At school.
• At work.
• At the gym.
• At your favorite restaurant.
• In your neighborhood.
• In line at the movie theater.
• In the mall.
• In the state you live.
• In other states.
• In other countries.

Wherever you are there is always an opportunity to share the word of God. Don't let your own idea of where mission work must take place get in the way of sharing your faith.

We must seek opportunities daily to worship the God who created you! By doing this we need to become Kingdom focused and stop being self focused. By spreading the word of God we will have to make sacrifices in our lives. "He must become greater; I must become less." John 3:30. We will need to sacrifice time, money, material things, status, our sin, our self, our stuff and so much more to be effective in allowing God to be greater and to spread His love and name.

I pray God gives you an opportunity to spread His name each day. I know He will equip you with the right words and the confidence to step out boldly in your faith.
