One of the last things
Jesus said to his disciples before departing earth is given to us in Matthew
28:18-20 “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you…” As you read this, a team of ministers including myself will be
doing just that in the country of India. This is a nation entrenched in
Hinduism and has a strong Muslim constituency. Yet, there are those who are
hungry for a spiritual walk that goes beyond what they have been exposed to. It
is my prayer that we will not leave them disappointed. Any attempt to change
the culture and spiritual mores of a people group meets with resistance. However,
we believe God will give us success. In
addition we realize victory does not come without partnership. We will be
depending upon the Holy Spirit to give us the power to meet all challenges. Just
as importantly, we will be leaning upon the prayers of those who will be interceding
for us because we believe prayer works. To all the members of Grace Point, I
would like to thank you for being mission minded and for sponsoring me in this
endeavor. To those who have privately contributed to the cause, I pray that God
will reward you with blessing beyond measure. To those who read this post, I ask
you to join us by serving as an Aaron or Hur holding up our arms of ministry as
we do battle. As a united force together we will fulfill the Mission Mandate!
