Our activity tonight was a word search on mission, with prizes associated with mission (a torch and car fresheners… it was hot in India!) and intermission (popcorn and snacks!)
Dave gave the epilogue (and we are so grateful for his recovery; it was good to have him back bringing God’s word to us!), speaking from Matt 28:16-20. Jesus was quite specific in His instructions that we are all to be involved in mission. Not all of us may be able to venture as far as India, but we all need to start where we are. Whether we are saved through being brought up in a Christian family or through the witness of a neighbour, friend or colleague, we all generally come to faith because someone else tells us about Jesus! Our responsibility is to be the friend who tells other people about Jesus… and we do that by starting right we are. Goldthorpe, here we come!
