As a missionary, there
is no story as singularly inspiring for me than the words of Andrew Fuller
concerning his friend and fellow laborer, William Carey:
“We
saw there was a gold mine in India, but it seemed almost as deep as the center
of the earth. Who will venture to explore it? “I will go down.”, said Mr.Carey to his brethren, “but remember
that you must hold the ropes.”
We solemnly engaged to do so; nor
while we live, shall we desert him.”
The great commission was
given to the Church. Every member of the body is involved. Some pray, some
give, some go. We need you to hold the ropes. We see this throughout the New Testament. Paul was sent out by
the church in Antioch (Acts 13:2-3), supported financially by the church in
Philippi (Phil 4:13) and prayed for by the church in Thessalonica ( 2Thes 3:1).
ROPE-HOLDING SUPPORT TEAMS

“We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds.
The greatest need is prayer.”
The greatest need is prayer.”
[Wesley Duewel, head of OMS International]
# Receive short, frequent prayer updates with more
intimate details about our family and ministry.
# Commit to pray for these requests.
Prayer is the most important thing, and we would not be able to have an efficient ministry in the front line without consistent prayer support.

We all need
encouragement in a tangible way. As missionaries we are no different and are
not immune to the effects of depression, loneliness and culture shock. We need
to hear from you!
# Stay in contact.
# Recommend/send encouraging books, articles, movies, materials.
# Receive updates on supply needs

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteLast week did a presentation at our church and used the Pray Encourage Give idea for the way they could support our ministry. We actually shortened it to PEG and as we get partners we are putting pegs into a board as a visual aid!
God bless,
