Every fellowship must be a Sending Church! Whether overseas, across the state or in your current community, the Lord expects His Church to continue reaching out to the world. Perhaps every Church fellowship should pray about sending 10% of their membership every year to the mission field: internationally, a new church plant or some other ministry. The sending church will offer prayer and material support and be the strength and lifeline needed. If initial and immediate response is "if we send out our people, we'll have no one left", we probably have the wrong perspective. Jesus sent out every one of His remaining “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are disciples (Matt 28). few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to To pursue, please contact Thad Lumsden for more send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I information @ thad.lumsden@gmail.com am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.” ~ Jesus Christ (a.k.a. Creator of the Universe, God, Elohim, Adonai, Jehovah, etc)
