the mighty mission group

Over the past few years we've had the privilege to present our ministry in various churches and in various capacities; sometimes Sunday morning, sometimes Sunday evening; during missions conferences and prayer meetings, youth groups, Christian schools, Sunday schools and Awana. Among all of these great opportunities that we have to share is a very special group of people. This group is known by various names, sometimes called W.M.S. (Womens Missionary Society), sometimes A.M.S. (Atlantic Missionary Society), sometimes W.M.F. (Womens Missionary Fellowship) and sometimes named in honour of a former labourer for the Lord now passed on. And to spite their names, these groups often include both men and women!

These groups are always a great blessing to us in their interest, dedication and value in cross-cultural and home missions. They are warriors in prayer who are committed to encouraging missionaries and holding them up in prayer regularly. It is humbling and encouraging to be able to be with them and share with them the work the Lord has laid on our hearts here at Arrowhead with NCEM.

I decided to share a bit with you about missionary groups, because in the past couple of weeks we have been blessed to be able to share with two different groups in Shediac and Saint John and will be sharing via correspondence with another this week. It is wonderful to know that people are burdened with missions and continue to pray regularly for the work the Lord is doing across our planet.

There is nothing more important than sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray that the Truth of the Gospel would continue to go forth in New Brunswick, in Canada and across the Globe. that more and more Christians would respond to the call to spread the Gospel to their neighbours, practically, but more importantly, verbally. That the message of Jesus Christ would resound aloud and abroad!

If you are not a part of a mission prayer group, please consider joining one (or starting one) at your home church. Begin to pray for pastors and missionaries, and begin to go out and share the gospel in your own community. It's what we're called to, no matter what our "vocation".
