Just say that you are a farmer with extensive holdings... cattle, horses, and multiple other things to protect. Now you have excellent fore-knowledge that a killer storm is approaching. What do you do? You certainly don't go on a quick vacation or sleep in. You get to work! May this Mission Minute serve to get us working as this "killer storm" is rapidly approaching.
You may say, What storm? It's not our present day political scene, our even our newest buzz topic, COVID-19. It is the time where the anti-christ rules. Millions of people need to hear... millions of people need to see the love of Christ before it is too late. Let's get going...
Pray for Ethan Prater and family as they make final prep for their field of work; the country of the Dominican Republic. Since they were here on the 11th of November 2020, they have reached 100% of the support needed! Praise be to God for when GBC took them on as mission family members, they reached the 100% mark. I will let you know more as I do in the weeks ahead. Pray for the Prater family in this exciting transition time in their lives.
Remember our Friends of Israel representative, Lee Nall in her recovery period. As well, Praise God for good news from Lomax and Linda Skinner. Remember them as Linda has had "spots" that were thought to be cancer. They appear to be a non-benign condition and she is slowly gaining her strength back.
More news, albeit indirectly... please remember we are all working on the same goal. And that is to lead lost souls to a saving knowledge! Here it is... TransWorld Radio (TWR), of whom GBC supports Dwayne and Mildred Gow reports "special programming was created by TWR ministry teams in multiple languages with messages of hope for those under stress because of COVID-19. Mens Bible study groups were established in Japan, Kenya, Czech Republic, Nigeria, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Norway."1
Malachi Boys Home in near by Summerfield is the only boys home in America (per director Art Shady), that does not charge anything for boys to live there.They are solely supported by churches like GBC. Despite many physical needs, Malachi Boys home was able to take on another young man, age 14. Brother Art Shady is not afraid to take on wayward young men.. remember how tough 14 can be.
So there it is... just a small portion of the work and effort that our mission family exhibits on a daily basis. Actually, every Christian needs to pray.. give..go (In your heart with empathy for the lost), and encourage. May Christ be exhalted and honored everywhere!!
