Malaysia 2010: Introductions
Dear friends, readers, and supporters,
Missionary Dick Hillis once said, “Every heart with Christ, a missionary; every heart without Christ, a mission field.” As you know, we (Eric and Jon) will be traveling to the mission field of Malaysia this July with CCMN. We will be updating our blogs to inform you of our final month of preparation before we leave. We hope that as you read, you will be encouraged to continually remember of our ministry in Kuala Lumpur. One point we agreed upon was that with each blog post specific examples would be provided of how you can be a consistent supporter. Yes, we said consistent. Let’s be honest, consistency is one of our greatest struggles of this day in age. With frequent distractions and shortened attention spans, it is a daily challenge to stay on top of our commitments. Which is why we are asking you to partner with us to be accountable and faithful to the heart of this trip. This mission trip is just as much yours as it is ours. It will be as much as you want it to be. As you begin to sow your time and heart into God’s work overseas, we truly believe the Lord will answer your prayers that will make an eternal impact in people’s lives. We are excited to answer the call to love and serve those in Malaysia and faithfully proclaim the name of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Thank you for your support as you work alongside us to advance God’s Kingdom.
Here’s how you can begin consistently supporting us:
1. Read Luke 10:2- Set a daily timer on your cell phone to pray for laborers that are overseas working for the harvest. 10:02 AM/PM are easy times to remember according to the verse, but pick a time whenever you think its most practical to pray over this verse.
2. Read Luke 18: 1-8 The Parable of the Persistent Widow. Reflect on the teaching Jesus shares through this parable. Ask God how you can play a role in supporting overseas missionaries.
Sincerely,
Jon
Team Malaysia
