In their publication Assisting You
and Your Church to be Totally His,
the International Mission Board offers suggestions on
ways that everyone can be involved in sharing the Gospel of Christ
with our world. Those suggestions include:
Embracing People Groups - of the 11,000
people groups identified in the world, the IMB estimates that 6405 of
them have less than 2 percent of their population who are evangelical
Christians. Approximately 3100 of these groups have no evangelical
presence at all. Embracing one of these people groups means
partnering with the IMB to develop strategies to reach them for
Christ. You can find out more at www.call2embrace.org.
Prayer - pray specifically for people
groups and those seeking to reach them. You can learn more by using
the CompassionNet App available for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Give to Make a Difference - giving
generously through the Cooperative Program, the Lottie Moon Christmas
Offering, the Annie Armstrong Mission Offering, and other mission
giving opportunities allows missionaries to focus their energies on
sharing Christ with those who do not know Him. You can find out more
at www.imb.org/main/give.
Meet Human Needs - Through caring for
physical as well as spiritual needs, we follow the example of Jesus.
You can find out ways to help at www.worldhunger.imb.org.
Join the Journey - multiple
opportunities exist for both short term and long term mission
endeavors. Watch for opportunities here at NHBC, such as the GCBA
Guadalajara Mission Trip each July, the Taiwan Mission Trip in the
Summer of 2016, and local missions through our partnerships with
Lifebuilders Ministries and Fremont School. You can also discover
opportunities at www.imb.org/lead.
Find your place to be On Mission with
Christ!
