We just received the preliminary report from Springfield on what our church gave to missions, both world and US. Jesus commanded us to go into all the world and spread the Good News. While we are not all called to go to full time missions, we can all play an important part by helping support missions through giving of offerings and prayer support.
An important thing to remember about missions work is that you and I can be missionaries where ever God has placed us. As you go about your day, be aware of the people that the Lord puts across your path. Often, people that we would normally not come into contact with seem to show up in the least likely places. It may be that these folks were supernaturally brought into our lives for "such a time as this." If God can use you in furthering His Word, He will bring people into your life that you might have other wise not been aware of. These God - directed meetings can have life changing results for both parties.
So be aware of every opportunity. Nothing happens by chance or coincidence. God bring people together for kingdom reasons. A couple in our church met in an unlikely situation, but the Lord had a God ordained marriage in His plans for two single people. They are now celebrating their second year of marriage and serving God together.
You are either a missionary or a mission field. (Not original, but I don't know who said it first)
