Baptists Committed to World Evangelism

Part 1 & Part 2 Facebook This is another great way to connect with people and for them to stay up to date with your ministry. On Facebook, you can share updates, send links to your blog/website, and connect with people. Facebook and twitter are great for helping drive traffic to your blog/website. I also use LinkedIn as well for the same reason.

When I started out as a missionary, I began a process of learning and growing that will no doubt continue to the day I die.  One area about which I had alot to learn was in the realm of technology.  I think that every missionary/pastor should seriously using technology as much as he can.  Obviously, we can become obsessed with it, but a great deal of technology is helpful because it allows us to communicate a message instantly, cheaply, and in a language that people are talking. I am by no means an expert in technology, but, in the next series of posts, I wanted to pass on a few ideas and tools that I use that might be of help to others who are in the ministry. WordPress One of the main tools that I used for communicating with supporters and prayer partners is our website/blog

I hope you are praying and thinking about what you can do and what God’s will for your Christmas offering is. We say that we are celebrating Christ’s birthday on Christmas and we are. However you and I both know that except for a cursory mentioning of Him we give Him little attention.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17 In our churches we often sing, “Arise, my soul, arise! Shake off thy guilty fears.” But nothing happens and we keep our fears. Why do we claim on one hand that our sins are gone and on the other act just as though they are not gone?

I will be taking some excerpt from an article found here! I thought the open letter was well written and respectful. I am not qualified to get into the discussion between the men here. I simply thought as I read the article, how does this apply to me and the ministry that God has called me to lead.

The following is a discussion between two great missionaries. Keith Shumaker in Burkina Faso is sharing with Kevin Hall in South Africa some of the ways to get the national men and women to take ownership of the ministry there. Read this and let me know what you think.

The following material that is being quoted is taken from here! At the Our Generation Training Center we have all of our students spend 6 months living and studying overseas. I think that there is much to be gleaned from the following article! The American bubble that is mentioned is a great danger. The spending so much on time communicating back to the states and home is also a great danger. I am afraid that this modern technology can make it harder to adapt to the new culture and your new home

Voice in the Villages has the goal of using radio and television to get the gospel message to the unreached peoples around the world. There are so many people that live beyond the reach of traditional missions. We must do something to get the gospel to them. We want to raise the funds to not only get the information to help spiritual leaders out via a pdf and mp3 player but we want to get the gospel to them via radio and television in the tribal languages

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2:19 In our eagerness to make converts I am afraid we have lately been guilty of using the technique of modern salesmanship, which is of course to present only the desirable qualities in a product and ignore the rest. We go to men and offer them a cozy home on the sunny side of the brae (a hill or hillside; slope.) If they will but accept Christ He will give them peace of mind, solve their problems, prosper their business, protect their families and keep them happy all day long. They believe us and come, and the first cold wind sends them shivering to some counselor to find out what has gone wrong; and that is the last we hear of many of them.… By offering our hearers a sweetness-and-light gospel and promising every taker a place on the sunny side of the brae (a hill or hillside; slope), we not only cruelly deceive them, but we guarantee also a high casualty rate among the converts won on such terms. On certain foreign fields the expression “rice Christians” has been coined to describe those who adopt Christianity for profit.
