Dear College Student: 4 Encouragements to Live on Mission
"For four years, you have the opportunity to reach those from the other side of the globe with the gospel by simply walking across the hall. If we are called to go and “proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15), this is the most risk-free step of obedience we can take. We have the privilege of fulfilling the Great Commission right here on our campuses.” - Dear College Student: 4 Encouragements to Live on Mission, by Ellie Sauder
Drawing the Hungry to the Lord’s Table
“Nearly every evening, church members or neighbors drop by the Butterfield home for the evening meal and family devotions. That’s right: Not just every once in a while. Nearly every evening. They talk through their days, hear how they can help people in the neighborhood, and offer prayer for those who sit around the table. There’s always another seat around the table, whether or not you believe in Jesus.” - Drawing the Hungry to the Lord’s Table by Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra
The Cost and the Beauty of World Missions
“Lined up were dozens of women dressed head-to-toe in Abayas, the traditional black robe worn by women in the Gulf region of the Middle East. With no knowledge of the Middle East except what I had deduced from sensationalized news and bad action films, I arrogantly said to God, ‘I will never live in a country where women have to wear that.’ Six years later, I learned to “never say never” as I boarded a one-way flight to the United Arab Emirates with my husband and baby. We moved there for the sake of ministry, but we were the ones who were served in the end.” - The Cost and the Beauty of World Missions by Bev Berrus
