KeyNotes                               

The Father used your Amazon River Mission Team to join HIM in HIS work along the Amazon Flood villages. These villages can only be reached during the flood season. As of the writing of this article, these villages are no longer accessible by boat. Your team report: 43 plus home visits; over 173 people visited; 16 professions of faith; 275 plus children, teens & teachers heard the Gospel in the two village schools;

It is not too early to begin planning for the Taiwan mission in December 4-12. The team will present a 40 minute English Cultural Class teaching the “True Meaning of CHRISTMAS.” Seeds will be planted among those who have never heard the Gospel. The classes will be presented in public schools! Space is limited so sign up soon. In March a team will present “The True Meaning of Easter.” For more information call me.

The Acts 1:8 command of Jesus is the mandate to get involved in spreading the Gospel. Start where the Father has placed you: your family, work, community, church. Extend out from there to the ends of the earth! May being on mission become our driving force in reproducing healthy spiritual followers of Jesus resulting in Acts 2:42 churches: developing relationships, sharing Jesus and make producing Disciples for the Kingdom!

Take the time to pray and identify your mission field. Then be on mission! “Who’s Your One?” in each of the Acts 1:8 commands (home, community, state, national, ends of the earth). Pray for, engage, plant seeds and see what God can and will do through you!

I celebrated 18 years as your AMS on September 8th. I am blessed to be your AMS, NEAR you to Network, Equip, Assist and Resource for Kingdom-work effectively! Until HE comes!

 

In Him,

Tim
