Women Missionaries

Did you know that over 50,000 female children are aborted every month in South Asia? Females are often the last to eat and the most likely to be illiterate. They’re the first to work as child laborers and sometimes even sold to become one of 1.2 million child prostitutes. As they grow they gain little respect.

They live in the most unreached parts of the world—places that have yet to hear the Gospel. And many women cannot be approached by men due to cultural customs, making their slim chance of hearing the Gospel even slimmer.

Women in Asia are the least likely to hear the Gospel but Gospel for Asia has a burden to reach them. You can help send a trained and dedicated woman missionary to share Christ’s love with women in Asia

Women missionaries are the perfect solution to reach other women

Each woman missionary already lives in Asia. In preparation for ministry, she has gone through three years of intensive ministry training.

These advantages make her ideal to reach women in Asia:

• She moves freely in areas restricted to outsiders or men and is accepted in good times and bad.
• She knows the cultural taboos instinctively.
• She has already mastered the language or a related dialect.
• She lives among the community, eating the same food, wearing the same clothes, and sharing the same cultural interests.
• She has a passion and burden to reach women in Asia.

Almost anyone can make a difference for women in Asia

It only takes $30 a month to help support a woman missionary to serve full-time to reach other women.

Through Bible studies, house visits, and the personal ministry of woman missionaries, thousands of women have found hope in Christ. But the need in Asia is great. Millions of women have still never heard the Good News. By sponsoring, you will allow women in the next village to be reached.

GO! "As you are going?" (Sent, Witness, Preach, Disciple)

"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, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

Stay? No. “Go therefore”: Because Jesus in charge and is all powerful, we are therefore commanded to go. It is His authority that sends us, His authority that guides us, and His authority that empowers us.

I’m no Greek scholar but Go is a command and it’s present tense which can be implied saying ‘as you go’ “Make disciples of all the nations”. "As you are going". It’s a lifestyle of living for Jesus, and more than being just a Sunday Christian. This is as we are going, so not just crusades, events, our outreaches but daily leading people to Jesus.

The command is to make disciples, not merely converts or supporters of a cause. The idea behind the word disciple is of a scholar, a learner, a student, a follower. “Of all the nations” (ethnos=ethnic, people groups, languages): There is no place on earth where the gospel of Jesus should not be preached, and were disciples should not be made.

“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you”: Disciples are made through teaching. This teaching is not with words only, but by the power of the God changing hearts and transforming lives. The content of the teaching must be all things that I have commanded you. The followers of Jesus are responsible to present the whole counsel of God, the whole Bible to make sound disciples.

“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age”: Do you see that Jesus sent His disciples with a mission to fulfill, but He did not send them alone? The promise of His constant presence was more than enough to strengthen and guide the disciples as they obeyed Jesus in making disciples of all the nations.

Our response: Either you become saved or not. You must be ‘born-again’ in order to even be a disciple of Jesus. When we become born again our old life is dead and buried, our new life is raised in Jesus. Then we follow Him.

Our role: We are to make a disciples. Not of ourselves but of Jesus. To teach, and instruct the people in the ways of God. We need the Word of God to be the people of God - by simply teaching the Bible simply.

4 Great Co-missions for Believer's:

1) Sending Role

John 20:21 “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you”

This is the continuity of Christ and His church, and we should support missionaries and be one.

2) Witnessing Role

Luke 24:46-49 & Acts 1:7-8 “Be my witnesses... in Jerusalem and Judea and to the ends of the earth”

This is progression and strategy, and we should testify what God has done in our life. Start at home work your way out from there.

3) Preaching Role

Mark 16:15-16 “Preach the gospel to all creation”

This is a universal scope to share the good news (1 Corth 15) with everyone. We should invite people to church and to have a relationship with Jesus.

4) Discipling Role

Matthew 28:18-20 “Go and make disciples of all nations”

Remember that this is of every ethnic group. We should invest time in others and teach them the Bible. I would encourage you to start a family Bible study and also to spend time with new believers.

Well, what has Jesus called you to do? Make disciples of Jesus. Charles Spurgeon said “Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor”. Your mission field is in-front of you at all times.

"Go!"

GO! A "word from God?" (God's Will for You)

"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

What are you doing for the Kingdom of God? Have you taken the Great Commission to heart? Have you gone into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature? Or are you waiting for a "word from God?" Then here it is - "Go."

That's the first word of the Great Commission given to the Church (Mark 16:15). So, what are you waiting for? There's your word from God. Go somewhere; do something; say something to somebody somewhere, somehow.

Someday you will be dead, and then it will be too late. While you can ... think, speak, move your hands and feet, do something for God. Are you content to sit in the barracks while the battle rages? You are in a battle for the lost.

Form a platoon. Give out ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) everywhere, leave them with someone, speak for your God. Don't be afraid of failure. Be afraid of silence.

The use of Gospel tracts

Joey Hancock of the American Tract Society said, "Fifty-three percent of all who come to Christ worldwide come through the use of printed gospel literature."


Billy Graham said of Gospel tracts: "Nothing surpasses a tract for sowing the seed of the Good News." 

Charles Spurgeon said, "When preaching and private tale are not available, you need to have a tract ready...get good striking tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts." 

Dr. Oswald J. Smith said, "The only way to carry out the Great Commission will be by the means of the printed page." * Remember that ice breakers or gospel tracts are for people not places.

It has been said that nothing cost less, goes farther, lasts longer or says it better than ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places). Regardless of your spiritual maturity or experience in sharing the gospel, ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) is an indispensable helper.

Any person can do it. We cannot all preach; we cannot all conduct meetings; but we can all select useful ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) and then hand them out to others.

For example this last month here are a few places I've passed out tracts at:
 * Warrens Drive Thru Lube - gave a smart card tract to Jeff a mechanic.
 * Teriyaki House - left a tract in the tip jar for staff.
 * Super Cuts - gave a tract to Miguel there and a nice tip for him.  
 * Burrito wagon off Eaton and Esplanade - gave a tract for a lady there.

 * Chico Pet Works - gave a Gospel of John tract for Melisa and a very nice tip.
 * Super bowl game party - gave tracts and gave a 10 commandment coins

 * Mangrove Veterinary Hospital - gave tracts to staff
 * Work - gave 10 commandment coins to 3 coworkers, 2 for their birthday.

Here are my suggestions for developing an effective tract ministry.

1. Pray.
You cannot win anyone to Christ, neither can a tract. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.

2. Engage your audience
This can be done by making eye contact, with a simple smile, asking questions or listening carefully to what is said.

3. Use top-quality tracts.
Invest in the best ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) available. 

4. Get organized.
Place ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) where they will be readily accessible for your use, like at work, in your car, in your backpack, in your wallet, in your pockets, or anywhere they will fit.

5. Give out an ice breaker (gospel tracts are for people not places) each day.
Never leave home without an ice breaker (gospel tracts are for people not places). You will be amazed as you see the Lord bless your efforts.

Mailbox full of Junk Mail?

The #1 reason I get from people who are reluctant to be a witness for Jesus is this: “I just can’t get out the house (or office).” So here is a way to witness without going out to witness...

Take the junk mail that fills up your mailbox and use the postage paid envelope to send a tract. Grab your favorite Gospel tracts, say a million dollar bill or something.

   Then tuck the tract neatly into the envelope…confident in the fact that the postage has already been paid. And if the recipient will only repent and trust in the Savior, his sins will be paid for as well. Pray for the recipient also.
