Missions during COVID-19

 

Missions in COVID-19

 

This year has presented a challenge for most of us when it comes to missions.  As a church most all of our organized efforts for face to face outreach have been halted.  So, how can you and I been involved in Missions in the midst of COVID-19?

Missions is simply giving ourselves away to a lost and dying world.  So at the heart of missions is giving.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…”

I came across a quote (unknown in its origin) this week that says, “Anyone that says money does not create happiness has not given enough away.”

There are a lot of ways to give that have nothing to do with money.

There is great joy in giving of ourselves as a believer

 

In Luke 6:38 (ESV)

 “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

When you give from a heart of love

We are always given so much more than we give.

 

So during this season and during this unique time we can give of ourselves:

Through Prayer

Through giving from our financial resources

Through writing notes and cards

Through making a phone call

Through a gift

Through a kind word

 

This Christmas let us look for ways to give like we have never given before, and more than just money.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”  (Luke 6: 38)

 

The heart of missions is giving.  Giving of ourselves

When you give from a heart of love

We are always given so much more than we give.
