Yes, you and I are called to go and make disciples but sometimes we are content to live our lives in our cozy and safe circle of friends. Still, our Good Shepherd is calling us—to come out of our cramped lives into broader horizons and new places—where 2.7 billion people are still waiting to hear the Good News.
But….but….I know…..we have our priorities….and jobs, and family…and the list goes on. Maybe God didn’t mean for EVERYONE to go….just a few chosen ones?
It’s true, not all of us can go, but if we can’t go we can be senders….those who send others to tell the only truth that is worth living and dying for. Sunday, June 11, after morning service a team of mission-senders is joining with MOST MINISTRIES, to send Living Water to Uganda. We’re preparing our senders-team—which we hope will include you, on a one-mile Living Water Walk, on August 11, at Davison Township Park in conjunction with the “Celebration of Life – Christian Family Event.”
Our Kickoff on June 11th begins with a short introduction to why we send—what our missionaries will do—and then we’ll put on our walking shoes and begin our outreach exercise carrying water buckets—in our sports fields—to get a feel of what it’s like for our Ugandan friends who make this water run daily.
Each week thereafter, we will have a living water exercise to prepare for our 1 mile walk—that will provide clean and living water to people in Uganda—and refresh our spirits as senders of the Gospel.
So…plan on sticking around after service on June 11, and open up your heart and mind to a world that is dying of thirst—for the Living Water—Jesus!
