A big “God bless you” goes out to the members of the Mission Ministry as they, and we, celebrate Mission Annual Day. It is with thanksgiving and great appreciation that we commend them for their very fine work in the Mission Ministry. First of all, these sisters have received the message, and that message is “The mission is evangelism.” In the Missionary Society, there are a myriad of activities, but the focus is on soul-winning. Proverbs 11:30 tells us that“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”Ladies, thank you for your wisdom. Jesus, the master teacher, tells us in Luke 15:7, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance”. Wisdom reminds us of God’s love for each individual. It is so great that He seeks each one out and there is rejoicing when he or she is “found.” Again, to the members of the Mission Ministry, thank you for your service to the Kingdom.
Now, and in larger sense, all members of the Body of Christ are called to missionary work. Jesus said to disciples of all times: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20).
Remember, he or she that winneth souls is wise.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
