Your Support Drives The Gospel with Impact & Compassion
WORLD-WIDE MISSIONS:
SMITH FAMILY UPDATE – THAILAND
Thank you so much for your continued support and care for us! We cannot be out here and do our work without you. Please tell the administrative assistant and pastors of the church we are grateful for their support and kindness towards us as well. We praise God for your church! And yes these weekly emails are a great way to keep us in the hearts and minds of members there.
Please communicate to the church we would love them to pray about two college Christmas parties we are putting on, coming up in the next three days. We have invited college students (both from Buddhist and Muslim background) from our local University to meet at our ministry center to have a Christmas party that will share the entire Christmas story and will give them an opportunity to learn about the true meaning of Christmas for the first time. Please pray that their hearts would be open to continually learning about the good news in the coming weeks.
Also, a week from now three men will be baptized inside the local prison that we have started a church in. I am working with our Thai pastor and have had opportunities to go in and preach at this meeting. It’s quite encouraging to see their positive response! Thank you for your continued prayers.
God bless you! -Jeremy
LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING
What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?
Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem – LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence. She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. 100% of your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering enables gospel transformation among the unreached.
HOPE FOR ISRAEL
We are a discipleship and service-oriented ministry in the heart of Jerusalem whose main aim is to bring the hope of Messiah back to Israel, where it went forth over two thousand years ago. Since 2000, God has built up Hope for Israel (HFI) to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the Israeli people, including the Body of Messiah within Israel. In addition, we provide numerous resources to encourage, educate, and equip our brethren throughout the world in issues concerning Israel, the Hebraic foundations of faith in Messiah, and strengthening our daily walk with the LORD. We seek to keep our readers informed on what God is doing in the Land, and encourage effective prayer for Israel, all through the filter of the living and breathing Word of God!
