Following the Spirit
These past couple weeks have truly plunged us into quite the adventure! It’s interesting how God often leads us to related Scriptures as if He know what lies ahead. Funny how that works, huh! One of my interests in the Scriptures lately revolves around the Spirit’s work of leading in the believer’s life. I am currently reading through a related book on this subject. The title and premise...

New Resource The Believer’s Bookshelf
We often take knowledge, specifically Biblical knowledge for granted. The lack of a passion to learn Biblical truth is an all too often common trait among Christendom. I know we’ve probably all heard this plea before, but I am bringing this up again because it is so very critical. God’s people must get back to a thirst for learning Biblical truth. I’m talking about a deeper level of seek...
Embracing the Waits Keynote
Recently, I was given the opportunity to preach at our home church. Since God has been working on my own heart regarding my waits, this study was a natural pick for me. I pray God can use His awesome Word in your life as well. If it can be of any use, I have included links to 2 file types of the recent Keynote Presentation entitled, "Embracing the Waits in Life." One file type is a movie file of t...
Embracing the Waits in Life
Well, I wanted to share with you some thoughts on some truths God has recently taught me! The subject: the waits in life. We are on this process termed "deputation," where we are seeking ministry partnerships to reach remote Alaska with the Gospel. Notice I called it a process. We praise God for our current 40% level of needed support raised in this past year and we are grateful for that amount in...

A Manifestation of the Gospel
The Church: A Manifestation of the Gospel Today it seems there is no shortage of books on the negative aspects of the church. It should break our hearts to see the sometimes desperate condition of Christ’s church today! One related passage God has directed me to lately is Ephesians 3. Paul writes the believers in Ephesus regarding the awesome Gospel, of which he now boldly declares to ...
Prayer
This year seems to have much discussion revolving around the National Day of Prayer! My attention was recently directed to James 5 and I would like to share these truths with you. I believe the truths regarding prayer in James 5 are really convicting and potentially transforming! James writes his self-named epistle to his fellow Jewish believers, now scattered from the current religious oppres...
The Core Content of Missions
For several weeks now, I have been pondering a particular passage and subject regarding missions. God has shown me much from Romans 8 and I am very excited about sharing it with others. Romans 8 contains some familiar verses, but I think we would all greatly benefit a fresh study of the entire passage. I believe a proper appreciation for the context and message of Romans 8 is absolutely critical...

Helpful Thoughts on Today's State of Missionary Deputation

Posted By: thegapstander on November 28, 2009 in Interesting Links, Missions, Updates (all) - Comments: No Comments »

When we take a honest look at today’s current deputation process and the new missionaries (and even returning ones on furlough), one can plainly see that there is a growing struggle to raise support. The possible reasons for this are numerous, but I definitely think it warrants our attention and ingenuity. The link I am providing in this post is another blog of a new missionary’s thoughts regarding these issues. Although his posts may take a while to sift through, the content is well developed and worth considering. Some of his thoughts are bit more obvious solutions to today’s support problems, but a few of his ideas are very intriguing. So, take some time and browse through his entries. I think it will challenge our thinking in this area of mission support (at least enough to start thinking personally how we can possibly be more Biblical and innovative in today’s economy).
