Are You Willing To Go?

I wanted to take a few moments today and talk a little about missions. If you have never seen the above video I hope that you will take a few minutes and watch it. Listen to the words of the song as you are seeing the pictures of these people from all over the world. The song asks a very important question, who will go for me?

Most people that I know in churches today are willing to give their money to help support missions but i have found that there are few willing to go and give their time. While I was on the mission field I was very grateful to those that supported me financially because it allowed me to be there in the first place. However one of the biggest discouragements to me was that there were very few people who were willing to come visit the mission field and give their time. It seems to be that way here at home too when it comes to Christians sharing their faith with other people. We must remember that missions is also sharing our faith with others that we come into contact on a daily basis. We all have been commissioned by our Lord to share our faith with not only the entire world but also those that we are around on a daily basis.

You might be reading this and you are more than willing to give your money to support missions and evangelism, but the question is are you willing to give your time and yourself in the support of missions? Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone? Will you go?

"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." - Matthew 9:36-38
