MISSIONARIES

Matthew 5:14-16  "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 


If we are the  light of the world, then we have a job to do,
I pray you will meditate on this, and really think it through.
The world is lost in darkness, and souls on the way to hell,
Let us get busy now, and to the lost, the story of Jesus tell.
Every day we are instructed to do this: LET the light shine,
And I beg of you friend, with this mandate, please align,
When we do, God works in the lost, saving their soul.
Determine today, begin right now, making this your goal. (RP)

Our church Missionary conference has been well  planned, and many activities to acquaint people with what is going on in the world. Yesterday morning I attended the men's breakfast and Phillip Jansma spoke. It brought many memories when his dad, John, would bring his huge canoe to the port of our town in Benjamin Constant, Brazil Bringing supplies from Manaus, 1,000 miles downstream, he would repack his canoe, then begin his 500 trip up river to the Marubo Indians, to whom he ministered. Today in our church we will hear from missionaries, the Molsees, who work in Mango, Togo. She is a medical doctor and he does many other administrative duties. We look forward to this day. Thanks for praying.
