Mission’s Convention 2022 and what amazing speakers...

 ...we have had. Greg Mundis and Zach Rix truly challenged us to do more for missions than we have ever done. After doing Mission’s Conventions for over 30 years, what does one say that hasn’t already been said? How do you convince people to understand the Great Commission? To be sacrificial? Simply, to care about the lost? The Word of God is pretty clear…Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Paul said, “And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" 

A Simple Test.

A. Do we believe the Great Commission is biblical and is to be obeyed?

B. Do we support the Mission of Life Church to send out missionaries to the ends of the earth? 

C. Do we support our missionaries by praying for them (adopting them) and being here when they minister?

D. Do you have a greater desire to be entertained in church than to hear the heart of someone called to a distant land or to lost here in America? We may need to stop thinking church is all about us.

E. Do we actually give to our General Missions of Life Church above our tithes? Do we understand the idea of being sacrificial?

F. Does our mission’s giving resemble more a token than a sacrifice? Example…Is our cable bill (Direct TV, Dish, etc.) more than what we give to missions? Is our entertainment more important than souls?

Missionary statesman Doctor J. Oswald Smith, of whom there is no equal spoke at Dan Betzer’s church in the 60s and was the push he needed to become one of the Greats for missions in the Assemblies of God. Dr. Smith dropped the bomb on Betzer’s little church with these words…Dr. Smith – “What did you want from me? How many times have you heard the gospel? How many church services have you attended? Were you expecting something new from me? What right do you have to hear the gospel over and over when so many have never heard it for the first time? What makes you so special?” Enough said!
