Our readings from Luke’s Gospel portray those in poverty as the people who will inherit the earth and be by Christ’s side in the kingdom of heaven. In the Gospel of Luke, it states, “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours” (6:20). Our readings from scripture paint a picture that suggests that those who are suffering in the world during their lifetime, will be
Churches have historically sought to minister to the special needs of widows, orphans and the aged. Today many churches are reexamining their efforts along these lines in light of the changing cultural and social situation. As concern for the plight of the aged has increased, so too have the resources available to the church. Health systems, social agencies and informational services all stand ready to provide support to churches taking on new projects or otherwise strengthening their ministry with the aging.
Engagement with others is the most fertile ground for spiritual growth. Yet, salvation cannot come through individual questing nor good works in the community of the world alone. Salvation can only come when the journey and the work become
The Zeeryp boys have been invited to expand their knowledge of the art that is sharing the gospel. Trevor and Ethan have been invited to a youth missions trip in Chicago, Illinois with the youth group of Eastport Baptist Church ( our youth group).

With a follow up days to practice on the streets of Chicago. We look forward to gathering skills to not only use in our family’s ministry at camp but also in our day to day communes with our peers. The main obstacle that stands in the way is getting there. It cost just over three hundred dollars
According to a recent article, “1.5 billion people are without the full Bible in their first language” (“What’s been done”). This statistic shows that there are many people in the world who do not have a way to learn about Christ . We need people who are willing to go and spread the word to people who do not have these Bible translations. To spread the word of God, Christians need to understand how many people already know about God, how to spread the word in places like the 10/40 Window, and how to get missionaries into remote areas so people can who do not already know about Jesus can learn more about Him and become followers of Christ.
I grew up in a home with a family that attend church weekly and was active in the church family. I knew about God and about His son but I never remember the story of salvation and the personal need for a savoir. As a teenager I walked away from the religion that I thought did not offer my anything. In my thirties, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and I immediately started my negotiations with God. Little did I know that He was not a negotiator but it was during this time in my life that I needed God more than He needed me. Since accepting the gift of God’s love, the salvation of a Savoir, and the renovation of my heart, I look to God for the path of my life. I share Gods truth through my career change to a Christian nob-profit that’s vision is to share God’s love to the community through the platform of pregnancy care and family services. Personally I have fulfilled God’s call to help the less fortunate by adopting a sibling group and participating and supporting mission trips to third world countries to support his children and missions there. My final piece of God’s plan I feel lead to complete is to volunteer my professional expertise and finances to work with a mission group that provides laboratory services to third world mission hospitals. I have done one trip for them and am currently planning a trip to Honduras in the new year. My day to

In Matthew 28:19-20, Matthew records Jesus’ last words to His disciples these verses have become known as “The Great Commission.”Since, the giving of the Great Commission followers of Christ has left their own culture in order to engage another with the saving message of the Gospel. Numerous books, articles and blogs have been written on the subject of World Evangelization or Missions. One such book on missions is called, “The Changing Face of World Missions: Engaging Contemporary Issues and Trends” this book was written by Michael Pocock, Gailyn Van Rheenen, and Douglas McConnell. All three men are experts in the field of missions; the writers have served overseas and are now currently engaged in equipping the next generation through teaching at Dallas and Fuller Theological Seminary.

Robert Clinton states “The central task of leadership is influencing God’s people toward God’s purposes” (Clinton, 1988). George Barna defines a Christain Leader as “someone who is called by God to lead; leads with and through Christlike character; and demonstrates the functional competencies that permit effective leadership to take place” (Barna, 1997). It is a shame we as Christians fail to recognize that Christ would have us be leaders in more than the church.
For centuries, individuals called “missionaries” have journeyed place to place to achieve their goal of conversion. A missionary is a person strongly in favor of a program, set of principles, religion, etc., who attempts to persuade or convert others. A missionary can also be a person sent by a church into an area to carry on evangelism or other activities, such as educational or hospital work. There have been many periods of time throughout history in which these mortals have remarkably affected nations and formed them into what they are today, such as the state of Hawaii, the United States of America, and some countries in Africa. There are still many groups of missionaries existent today, continuing their work to convert people to concur with their beliefs. There are some people who believe that missionaries have good prestige on society. These people concur that these groups, or individuals, bring abundances of beneficial assets that advance a locality. While some argue that missionaries have a positive impact, missionaries are a negative influence on society because they bring unwanted dilemmas and often achieve their goal of conversion through physical coercion.

Evangelism is one of the key component for changing people’s lives. McRaney states, “The word evangelism comes from a combination of Greek words for “good” and “messenger.” Evangelism involves bringing the goods. Kent Hunter reminded us that “when Christians witness, they tell how Jesus Christ has changed their own lives. The change in their own lives gives them the desires to share the Good News with others.” Christians must share their testimony to people and spread the gospel so that they can bring lost souls to Christ. God has commissioned every Christian to evangelize so that people will learn about Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal savior. Matthew 28:19 states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Christians are required to spread the Gospel throughout the world and can no longer just attend church. Christians must plant seeds and water the seeds so that lost souls will be saved.
There will be counselees who do not know the Lord, and it will be important to do pre-counseling with those individuals. If there is an opportunity to share the gospel, the counselor will certainly talk to the counselee about repentance of sin—turning away from a sinful lifestyle and turning to Christ alone for salvation. It is important to understand as biblical counselors that we cannot counsel unbelievers because they have not repented of sin and turned to Christ. Therefore, the counselee cannot do anything to please God. Paul said, “Those in the flesh cannot please God” (Rom. 8:8). The biblical counselor understands his responsibility to share the gospel to those who do not know Christ if there is an opportunity to do
