Fellow missionary Chuck King wrote this.
Here at River of Life our experience has been almost identical.
Where are the Great Commission supporters in the 20-40 age range?
Go beyond that: what about teenagers? It is not too early for them to begin.
Thanks Chuck!

“Today I have been thinking a lot about how much I appreciate the older generations of disciples of Jesus Christ. They are the most faithful believers I know among the nations who are fundamentally committed to God’s Word! They consistently pray! They faithfully attend assemblies! They have wisdom and common sense that comes with great experience! And perhaps their most important trait is their generosity! Every ministry we are able to successfully complete is usually heavily funded by donations from older believers! And their time, talent, and treasure ministry disciplines are a tremendous testimony to younger believers. DO NOT FORGET THESE OLDER SAINTS!”

FROM THE FOUNDER/DIRECTOR

As a missionary with over 50 years of experience all over Latin America--Central, South and Caribbean--my heart rings with excitement this morning as I see in the news the distinct possibility that VERY SOON, CUBA COULD BE FREE!

In the 31 countries I have visited around the world, the poverty of Cuba hit me harder than any other nation I have seen. It is crushing, lasting for decades with no apparent end in sight. Up til now? Is it possible?? Brethren, pray for this! Cuba, free again!

First missionary to be sent from the United States

Over 200 years ago, Adoniram Judson and his wife and family left for India. They wound up in Burma. His translation of the Bible into Burmese permanently impacted this nation (now Myanmar).

FROM OUR FOUNDER/PRESIDENT, JUST HOME FROM A TREMENDOUS NINE-DAY TRIP TO MANY PLACES IN GUATEMALA: MY 50TH ANNIVERSARY PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN THAT BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!

GOOD WORD FOR TODAY:

HELLO THERE, NET.
Why do I call you that?
Jesus made two unconditional promises:
- I will build my church.
- I will make you a fisher of men.
Someone is going to be used to catch others and build His church; if not you, then who?

His order: We have to do the second one in order to have materials to see the first one built.

And how do we become fishers, catchers of others? The primary way in Jesus' day was to use a net. So, we are becoming nets for Him.

What do we learn about these nets?
- They are washed Luke 5:2
- When torn, they get mended Matt. 4:21, Mar. 1:19
- They then get let down, cast, into the water Lu. 5:4
Jesus modeled this with the Samaritan woman: He broke traditions, then broke the ice in sensitive conversation, then broke the news of the Gospel . . . and “caught” a whole Samaritan town as a result. SO MANY NETS ARE AFRAID TO BE CAST OUT!
- They get cast where Jesus tells us to cast them! Lu. 5:4
- They get filled Lu. 5:6
- We are amazed that He would use our net! Lu. 5:9

Then, we share the testimony of our amazement at how God used us, & motivate and ask other “nets” to come over and help! Lu. 5:7

COME OVER AND HELP US!!

SCARLET LETTER:

this was a book by Nathaniel Hawthorne, written almost 200 years ago, about a person who made the major mistake of adultery and was forced to wear an “A” around their neck. It was about the agony of wearing a label because of a mistake.

Today, sadly, nothing has changed. The labeling goes on.

What a powerful work Christ’s salvation and true repentance can do for a life! However, many are not interested.

John Bradford got the message. He said the famous words, “But for the grace of God, there go I.”

We know what proud, self righteous religion does. We also know what Jesus did, and still does.

When the religious were writing people off, He was writing them in. When the Pharisees showed them the door, He showed them the grace that enabled them to truly repent and turn around. He still turns guilt into gratitude and shame into mercy.

In His Kingdom, flagrant failures are often being turned into determined disciples, like Peter and Mary Magdalene.

I am one of those. Are you? Keep walking with Him, and please, exchange your scarlet letter for a big F: forgiven and in the slow, patient, Christ-centered process of T: transformation!!
