Pray for a Missionary Today
Canyon Ridge Baptist Church currently supports somewhere around 40 Baptist missionaries on 6 continents. These are ordinary people who have left their comfort zones in order to reach the people that have never heard about Jesus. Take a moment to pray over the list today::
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:8-13
Hey Chris,
One of my best friends has the same last name as you. Crazy huh? How many Schellenbergs are out there? More than I thought, I guess!
I wrote a book about our first year as missionaries, with hopes that I could “desmystify” what 21st century missions are like a bit for the average American. I don’t know if it would speak to any of your Generation X or Y people out there, but if you want to know more, you can check out my book’s website and the Amazon reviews found there. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help get the word out about Missions work!
