When the days are long and the work is hard- how do we persevere, how do we survive? During our first two years in Taiwan, when we met challenge after challenge, and difficulty after difficulty, Paul was my role model. I learned so many precious lessons from Paul about how to keep on keeping on.

In and Around VS Up and Out Continuing in our mission series this week, we’re asking the big question of “how do we prepare or help others prepare for the field?” There are many good answers and important skills to learn to help us in the path to glorifying the Lord. But there is only one thing that is truly paramount. Come! Let us learn more of the call that the Lord has for each of us, whether we go or we send, so that we may faithfully offer our lives to Him.

Paul, on that road to Damascus, asked Jesus two questions, "Who are you?" and "What do you want me to do?" And Jesus answered, "I am the Lord your God.” Jesus is calling Paul into a life of world mission to the gentiles. Being a transformed man, this one man with a renewed mind wants to glorify God above everthing else by becoming a blessing to the nations. In Sunday's message, we want to understand a CALL that God has uniquely placed in our lives - To be a blessing to the Nations!

“Do you know the way?” Most of us some time in our lives have asked or been asked that exact question. Whether traveling or at a shopping mall we have approached or been approached by a random person for directions. This question applies not just for navigating streets but also in life. Like “Do you know the way to get into a top 10 college?” “Do you know the way to parent better?” And even in the Bible, people asked, “Do you know the way to eternal life?” Jesus said, “I am the Way.” Join us this Sunday as we conclude our series “This is the Way!” based on 1 John. Come and see the freeing truth that Jesus is Life. “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (1 John 5:11) The assurance of eternal life in Jesus frees us to live with a mindset that death is “not that bad.” “Christians who do the most for this present world are those who think most of the next. Aim at heaven and you’ll get earth ‘thrown in’; aim at earth and you’ll get neither.” (C.S. Lewis)
