Impacting Lives for Christ: Serving for His Glory and the Edification of Others

Christian service and ministry should glorify God and edify others. Glorifying God means our words and actions reflect positively on Him (1 Cor 10:31). Edifying others means we help and encourage them in their growth and development as Christian disciples (1 Th 5:11). Because we cannot live what we do not know, it’s imperative that we study the Bible for ourselves (2 Tim 2:15), and also benefit…

The Girl Whose Picture Adorned A Fridge!

Rev. Dr. Duke Jeyaraj talks about how he met and married Evangelin (fresh angle) The year was 1999. I was a second year M. Div. student of Southern Asia Bible College, Bangalore, then. It was a summer ministry time – a time when we the Bible College students did on-field ministry for two solid months in a place of our choice. There was an invitation for me to go back to Germany where I had…

"The fundamental basis of all Christian missionary enterprise is the universal authority of Jesus Christ, “in heaven and on earth.” If the authority of Jesus were circumscribed on earth, if He were but one of many religious teachers, one of many Jewish prophets, one of many divine incarnations, we would have no mandate to present Him to the nations as the Lord and Savior of the world. If the authority of Jesus were limited in heaven, if He has not decisively overthrown the principalities and powers, we might still proclaim Him to the nations, but we would never be able to “turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God” (Acts 26:18). Only because all authority on earth belongs to Christ dare we go to all nations. And only because all authority in heaven as well is His have we any hope of success." - John Stott

When You Build a Home, Plant a Tree.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 I still remember my first time in South Sudan. It wasn’t even South Sudan yet, it was still just Sudan. We went out to the ancestral village of a church planter we were working with. He pointed to a tree standing alone…

Christian Missions in Humanitarian Relief Efforts

Christian missions, also known as faith-based organizations (FBOs), are generally non-profit organizations aimed at helping individuals and communities in need. These organizations have played an important role in global humanitarian relief efforts for several decades. In numerous communities worldwide, Christian missionary-owned healthcare clinics and hospitals are generally the most respected and trusted by the local community, making them the first call of contact in emergencies and an outlet for distributing aid. In a disaster, Christian missionaries generally step up to provide affected communities with their basic needs, including water, food, and shelter. They partner with government agencies to smoothen and bolster relief efforts. At the same time, they help communities create long-term recovery plans by providing locations for meetings and financial support for executing those plans. Furthermore, Christian missionaries have been essential in providing critical healthcare services to disaster areas and developing countries globally for over a century. According to research, these FBOs provide roughly 40 percent of healthcare services in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since Christian missionaries are religious-based, they often have local chapters in the communities. This broad reach fosters trust and gives the organization a better understanding of the indigenous people, allowing them to effectively provide relief services, mobilize volunteers and resources, and contribute to consensus-building. Christian missionaries effectively mobilize volunteers for disaster relief efforts because they have access to large congregations in many countries. These volunteers are critical in assisting missionaries successfully carrying out their humanitarian efforts. Volunteers collect, record, and distribute donated goods and perform some rebuilding work. Most FBOs spend significant time ensuring that their members have adequate disaster management skills during humanitarian relief efforts. Humanitarian disasters cause mental trauma and physical and financial losses to those affected. Christian missionaries often provide emotional and spiritual care services for victims through professional counseling, team members/chaplains who offer a listening ear, and messages of hope that can effectively provide relief to those affected. In some cases, they set up community programs so that residents can continue servicing people in need after their missionaries have left the area. Unlike government agencies, Christian missionaries receive a higher percentage of their funding from private donations, allowing them to carry out critical interventions without the administrative bottlenecks that plague their government counterparts. Similarly, because of their religious mission, these organizations' humanitarian relief programs frequently outlast those funded by the government. Convoy of Hope, for example, remained in Puerto Rico throughout 2019, and The Salvation Army, which assisted Hurricane Maria victims in Puerto Rico, plans to do so for the next decade. Finally, beyond emergencies, Christian missionaries consistently provide humanitarian aid even to remote communities in developing countries untouched by civilization, where they provide development in the form of healthcare, safe drinking water, and education, among others, thus improving the lives of the indigenous peoples. Religious organizations in the United States contribute an estimated $44 billion in charitable contributions, making Christian missionaries an essential component of the humanitarian relief process. Christian missionaries' efforts during crises demonstrate the religion's ability to galvanize people to help those in need.

Mission trips are meant as a way to help others, yet historically religious missions are a form of colonization and violent cultural oppression—and can be still today! mission trips are a common part of the experience growing up christian. For current or past christians (who went on a mission trip as a child or worked as a missionary as an adult)…. do you or do you not regret the work you did as a missionary?

"prostitution is the world oldest prof-"

WRONG. Zookeeping is the world oldest profession. God created Adam and Eve and gave them the mission to protect nature and animals.

Zookeepers and gardenists are the closest to what God intended for humankind 🤠🌷🌸🌺🌻🌼🪷🐿️🦬🐬🦋🐞

#did you know florist had longer lifespan?#working with nature is literally healing #whenever I see videos of humans saving animals I'm reminded that it was our original mission #even animals acknowledge God #the Creation *knows*#Christian #papi truths
