October is missions month at ABC. We engage in missions all year long, but we bring missions to the forefront during this particular month. Each Sunday in October, you will learn about one of our ministry partners at ABC. You will also have an opportunity to give above and beyond your tithes and offerings to support ministry partners through drives with Samaritan’s Purse (Operation Christmas Child), Hands of Luke, and the Texas Baptist Children’s Home. We are also providing an opportunity for you to serve on October 21st by helping us pack 20,000 meals for families in Haiti.
I’m praying that you will not only participate in missions month, but I’m also praying that you will learn to live on mission this month. You do not have to get on an airplane to find a mission field. In fact, every Sunday we leave church, we are entering the mission field. God has called you to be an ambassador for Him wherever you go (2 Cor 5:20), and He has planned good works for you to walk in (Eph 2:10). For the next six weeks, I’ll be unpacking the Great Commission that Jesus left His church (Matt 28:19-20). I pray that each of us will not just be hearers of these words, but doers of them. If we do, I believe this church will begin to shine in ways that it never has before.
Have a great week, and I look forward to seeing you in worship. Bring a friend, and I’ll see you at 8:45am or 11:15am.
Onward and upward,
Jonathan Spencer
