CAN I SHARE MY JOY WITH YOU??! praise & pray for Native Missionaries!

!!! YAAYYY!!!

I received news last week - another of the native missionaries I sponsored after ~ 1 year has become self-supporting! (the 2nd native missionary i've sponsored with Gospel For Asia [see www.gfa.org] who's become self-supporting!! they truly are incredibly effective!

. . . that means over the time i've sponsored them (for little over ~$1/day) my small monthly support for this native missionary has resulted in the gospel being preached in a place where the name of Jesus & His gospel has been waiting for so long to be heard and a community of worshipping believers being established . . . having grown to the stage where it can support him without the need for outside assistance anymore!

i can't think of a better application of Luke 9:6, can you?

"And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places." Luke 16:9

also, I can’t imagine a better investment of my time, money or efforts~! Just my personal opinion. :D

(GFA's policy is 100% of funds goes straight to the field, nothing gets taken out for admin / staff etc!]

pray we'd all follow Fathers' leading in following His Words:

"Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back--given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity." -- Luke 6:38 [The message paraphrase]

.. do also pray for these dear native missionaries;

* raise up more of them for the massive harvest among peoples still waiting to hear The Name of Jesus!

* as He answers the prayer above, raise up an even greater army of senders who'll support & back them up with prayer & finances!

* protect & empower them as they labor in lands very hostile to the gospel.

* as His gospel would goes forth to every remaining unreached peoples, The Blessed Day of His return would be hastened on!

When the good news about the kingdom has been preached all over the world and told to all nations, the end will come. Mat 24:14

:D i'm overwhelmed with joy - eternal joy - just thinking about the many friends i'll meet in Heaven because of this wonderful privilege of partnering in the gospel!

. . . joyfully pursuing the dangerous duty of delight :)
