Fusion - a month of mission in focus

In Matthew 28:17-20 it says the disciples worshipped then Jesus told them to go out into the world making disciples of all nations. Following Jesus' command to make disciples is something I’m deeply passionate about. Second to worshipping God and loving people, there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing than being on about God’s mission in the world. Therefore, I’m really enjoying our month of mission's focus. 

After a fantastic week one with Andrew Livingstone from CMS, and a wonderful Sunday hearing and seeing the whole biblical story told through the paintings on the “God’s Dreaming” banner, I hope you’ve been inspired to continue sharing God’s great plan of salvation with all who will listen and/or see. The biblical story shown in pictures has crossed linguistic and cultural barriers showing that Jesus is good news in everyone’s language. May many continue to be saved and healed through the gospel message.

This coming Sunday is our 3rd week of mission talks. Our guest speaker is Gemma Bell from Fusion. Fusion do great work locally. As a church we support Fusion with food donations on the first week of each month, and with financial donations periodically. It will be great to hear more about what they do and how that ties in with God’s plans for the world and our local community.

The following Sunday (Mother's Day), we hear from George Snyman, CEO of 'Hands at work in Africa" … turning our hearts to the poorest of the poor in Africa. I have met many orphans there and have such a great heart for them. 

May each of these speakers remind us that we are all called to be on about God’s mission in the world, in many and varied ways. Though it's a different time and era, Jesus' command to his first disciples is still the same command He gives us today; “As you go, wherever you go, Make disciples”. So, I wonder, who are your disciples? Who are you helping to draw closer to Jesus? At Alpha, a small group of us a considering “who Jesus is” this Thursday night. Feel free to join us for dinner, dvd, and discussion if you’d like to know more.
