Mission Matters August 18

Philippians 1:3-6 - "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ"

4 Testimonies, 528.   “We must have a converted ministry. The efficiency and power attending a truly converted minister would make the hypocrites in Zion tremble and sinners afraid. The standard of truth and holiness is trailing in the dust. If those who sound the solemn notes of warning for this time could realize their accountability to God they would see the necessity for fervent prayer…

His (Jesus) nature was without the taint of sin. As the Son of man, He prayed to the Father, showing that human nature requires all the divine support which man can obtain that he may be braced for duty and prepared for trial. As the Prince of life He had power with God and prevailed for His people.  This Saviour, who prayed for those that felt no need of prayer, and wept for those that felt no need of tears, is now before the throne, to receive and present to His Father the petitions of those for whom He prayed on earth. The example of Christ is for us to follow. Prayer is a necessity in our labor for the salvation of souls. God alone can give the increase of the seed we sow.”

Upcoming Mission Reports - Make plans to join us on Sabbath, August 24 at 2:30 pm as Intissar will share some amazing stories of how God is working among the Kurdish people in Lebanon.

The world is to receive the light of truth through an evangelizing ministry of the word in our books and periodicals. Our publications are to show that the end of all things is at hand.—The Colporteur Evangelist, 100. 

This month’s emphasis is Cashiers & Carts! Give tracts to cashiers. There are a few simple things to say as you give the cashier a tract:

 - “Here is a little gift for you"
 - “This is something I read, and I think you’ll like it”
 - “This is for the help today!”

Make sure you also leave literature in your shopping carts as you leave the store, or put tracts on multiple carts!
