and all the christians in the whole world....


When my children and I say their bedtimes prayers, it always end the same

"bless mommy and daddy and mom-mom and pop, and Nannie and grand dad, my whole family, and all the Christians in the whole world, in Jesus name, Amen!"

When my sister Kendra first started mission Mondays she wrote a compelling posts entitle " Remember the chains".

I happened upon a church's website this morning with an exhaustive list of the missionaries they support and one tab was one with missionaries in sensitive countries. Missionaries in countries that forbid the gospel in any form.

Kendra had a knack for finding awesome mission projects, she is a little under the weather so please keep her in prayer.

Today for mission Monday , remember the chains of those who are being persecuted for the sake of the gospel. Take a look at the Voice of the martyrs and Unreached People of the day bottom of this page and don't just look- really say a prayer. For the bible lets us know that the fervent and effective prayer of the righteous avails much- in other words our prayers mixed with faith really does make a difference.


Let Us Pray....
Father forgive us if we have forgotten. We thank you that you are a God who remembers all your children. Thank you for reminding us that we are the keepers of our brothers and sisters, and that you have called us as gap fillers and bridge builders for those who are in need of your help right now. Lord there is someone in captivity , there is someone in dire need, there is someone suffering for your name's sake that is depending on our prayers to you. Lord there is someone in need of food, in need of directions to a safe place. Jesus we call on your name in desperation for our brothers and sisters in the field. Those who may have children and are struggling to feed them, those who may be hurt and need emergency medical care. Right now, omnipresent Father, meet those needs. Send help right now, and move in the miraculous. You are more than able and willing, for your word proclaims you as the present help. Let it be your will Father to rescue and sustain the missionaries walking in what you have commanded. Strengthen and comfort them with the comforter who is the holy Spirit. Surround them with your ministering angels. In Your precious name we pray. Amen.

What makes believers different from the world? Not the "do'"s and "don't do's". Not the "wear and "don't wear"- and certainly not status, money, or influence. So what distinguishes believers from the rest of the world? Holiness. Holiness is not a practice that allows me to come to God. If I may, I propose the opposite! Holiness is the result of us drawing near to God. He allows this because of the ransom of blood that was paid, and the veil that was torn, to grant us access to His throne.  In order to draw near to Him, I must be first be covered by the blood of Jesus.This is achieved through repentance, and baptism in the name of my kinsmen redeemer- Jesus Christ. In short, I don't practice holiness to experience God. His grace brings me salvation which brings me near to God. My nearness to God makes me more like Him- Holy.

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

Mission: Water4Christmas

Hi all! It's Missions Monday!! I get so excited! Truly! While on Beautiful Mess-Psalm 40 's blog, I was touched so deeply by her post on Water For Christmas! It's definitely a cause to support! We have all kinds of gadgets, movies, CDs, and gift cards that are all just distractions waiting to be bought and given this Christmas holiday. But there are over a billion of people all over the world who don't have access to clean water! Ridiculous! We're dying and killing ourselves over debt but our brothers & sisters are dying because of lack of clean water. Water has so many more  uses besides just drinking! Charity:water  says that the average American uses 150 gallons of water a day while the average person in a developing country struggles to find 5 gallons! This is what charity:water says to the question "Why water?" U nsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of...
