"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Sharing a Message

Today was our first meeting with the students going on the mission trip and I was asked to share. Sharing a message is something I have NOT done in a really long time. Sure I teach lessons and my students (both now and past) will say I preach every day, but this kind of sharing I haven't done in a long time.

I chose to speak on Matthew 9:37-38 The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field.

I also found this and read it to them:

Go in the Power the Lord will provide you,
Led by the Spirit each day,
You can not fail on the mission He sends you
GO then, no longer delay
--Peterson 1962

The two students that were asked to share a devotion too, shared from Matthew 28: 19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
GO!
