8/8/2019 Tidings for September 2010
1/3
A note to you:Dr. Scott Pittman, Director of Partnership
Missions of the KBC, told
us during the September Semi-Annual Meeting that a church should
have astrong missionary outreach. It should have a global concern.
As followers ofChrist, we are to spread the glorious news of
redemption to men and womeneverywhere. In fact, the very last words
of Jesus before His ascension werethese: Acts 1:8 But you shall
receive power when the Holy Spirit has comeupon you; and you shall
be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth."A church should be
missionary-minded. If a church is self centered
and it spends all its time and effort on its own interests-it
will fail in reaching
the world with the Gospel. The North American Mission Board says
a good
church is missional. What is a missional church?
Dr. Ed Stetzer, research team director and missiologist at the
NorthAmerican Mission Board said the following: What is a missional
church?Missionalis not the same as missions-minded, though they are
bothimportant and related. A missions-minded church is one that
cares aboutmissions around the world. It gives to missions, it goes
to mission contexts,its involved in cross-cultural missions.
Missionalleaders, however, know themission field is herenow. They
realize they need not only to supportmissions, they need to be
missionaries where they are. In its simplest form,
the term missionalis the noun missionary adapted into an
adjective. Forexample, an adversary is your enemy. So, someone who
is adversarial
acts like your enemy. A church or a follower of Christ who is
viewed asmissionalacts like a missionary. They do the things that
missionaries do,regardless of the context. They can be
parachute-dropped into a village inIndia, or into the hustle of any
North American city and be missional. Theystudy and learn a
culture, live and proclaim the good news and contextualizeit for
that culture. Missionalchurches take Acts 1:8 literally and act
likemissionariessharing the gospel in word and deedin their own
Jerusalem
(city or area), Judea (state or region), Samaria (North America)
and to theends of the earth.
To develop a missional culture in your church, mission education
isvery important. Missions education is a vital part of every
Southern Baptist
church. Through missions education children, youth and adults
are madeaware of Southern Baptist mission efforts around the world
and how they canbecome personally involved in sharing the Good News
of Jesus. Futuremissionaries will come from within churches that
provide hands-on missionopportunities and emphasizes praying for
and giving to missions. Creatingmissions awareness and a missions
environment will encourage churches toreach out into their
communities through a variety of ministries.
The missions education programs recommended by the KBC
forchildren are: Mission Friends for preschoolers, Girls in Action
forGrades 1-6, Royal Ambassadors for boys Grades 1-6, Children in
Action for
Co-ed Grades 1-6, Acteens for girls in Grades 7-12, Challengers
for boysGrades 7-12, and Youth on Mission for Co-ed Grades
7-12.
For adults the recommended programs by the KBC are: Sisters
WhoCare for women age 18 and up, Women on Mission for women ages 18
andup, Baptist Men on Mission for men ages 18 and up, and Adults on
Missionfor men and women ages 18 and up. There are no shortages of
mission educa-tion resources for your church.
Womans Missionary Union and Baptist Mens Ministries provide
resources for training missions education leaders, equipping
volunteers andleading persons of all ages to tell about Gods love
for all.
If you find you are a mission minded church, you have plenty
ofcompany, most are. The decision to make is: Do I want my church
to bemissional?
Yours In Christ,

every need you fill;Im resting in my faith, Lord;You saved me, and

Needed
The disaster emergency reliefcommittee has sent out a
volunteer registration form to the pastors. The
vision for the
committee is: An Association church has a
problem that it needs help with, i.e. electrical,
plumbing, etc. It needs help because it doesnt
have funds or manpower to deal with the
problem. This committee will utilize available
resources (manpower) to correct the problem.
If you would like to volunteer to help out,
please contact your pastor or the
association office for a volunteer sign up form.
