Missions Weekend (5/18-5/20)

Hey folks,

Just a reminder that we will be having our annual
missions weekend starting tomorrow (5/19) evening at
7pm. Our speaker as you have heard is Lawrence Cheng
and he will come and share a bit about his ministry
that he is passionate about. I am very challenged by
the radical choices that he has made with his life.
He is someone who has a heart for justice and mission
and I am very honored that he is coming and sharing
with us.

Missions ultimately is about responding to God's call
to go and make disciples of all nations and Lawrence
has heard his unique call and is contributing to the
building of the Kingdom in his own unique way.

Please make it a point to come out tomorrow night as
well as Sunday to hear Lawrence's story and the
challenges that he has for us.

In addition to hearing God's Word, my challenge to our
congregation is respond in some sort of faith pledge.
We will have our Mission Pledge cards that will be
included in the Sunday bulletin this week. There are
various sections to check in terms of faith
challenges. They vary from deciding to go on short
term missions, to supporting our missionaries in
prayer, financially supporting our missionaries, to
even considering going into the mission field full
time. I really would like everyone to agree to some
sort of faith pledge this year.

Various fellowships in the church have created little
posters describing some of the missionaries that our
church supports. Please take some time out this
weekend to go around and read up a little bit more
about our missionaries.

Thanks everyone!

See you this weekend,

Youwan
