Send Me: At the orphanage

At the orphanage

The team has arrived at the orphanage. They played with the kids and were met with lots of hugs. There are 42 kids there right now and they will start VBS tomorrow. The lesson will be about the prophet Elijah from I Kings 18:17-39. Pray that God would reveal Himself through the story of this man of God and through the words of our Grand Parkway missionaries. Since they are 9 hours ahead, pray for them as you are going to bed (as they are rising from bed).

A view into what God is doing through the people of Grand Parkway Church as we follow His commands to pray, send and go.

Missions, at the core of its definition, is a sending out of people with authority to share the amazing news of Jesus Christ.

When you look at it that way, it's what we're all called to do as Christians. In Jesus' famous words at the end of the Gospel of Matthew, he says to His followers that as they are going into the world, He wants them to make disciples of people in all nations and to baptize them and teach them to follow Jesus. We do that as we shop or exercise or work as teachers or doctors or accountants. There are also times that we should step out of our routine and go to one of those nations, especially those where there are many people who have yet to hear the name "Jesus."

At Grand Parkway, we believe that missions is not an option.

We also believe that God has led us to some incredible opportunities to go to our city and to our world and use the gifts and talents He's given in order to live out the passionate plan Jesus has for making sure the nations hear of His name and truth.
