Download or read book Missionary Mom written by Shontelle Brewer and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission work is not for the faint of heart. We admire those brave souls who leave behind the comforts of home and go to foreign fields to bring the love of Christ to people in need. And sometimes it feels uninspiring to be stuck at home in the day-to-day of parenting when others are out there changing the world, soul by soul. Shontell Brewer has a message to renew the spirits of everyday moms: they too have a critical calling as the very first missionaries their children meet. In her informal, funny voice, Brewer points out the many unexpected parallels: A missionary may need to learn a foreign language and new customs to understand and communicate with those around her. A missionary has to follow the path God puts before her, sacrificing sleep, comfort, time, and toilets. Sound like any moms you know? Brewer tackles common challenges from mom-guilt to the temptation to be a martyr to those days when it feels like only a box of cookies and a Netflix binge can restore a sense of peace. But through it all, she shares the truth that there's more to parenting than potty training and orthodontist appointments. Mothers make the love of Christ tangible and understandable to their children. With determination and a few purposeful steps, moms can embrace their own mission field, leading their families--heart, soul, mind, and strength--to Christ.

Download or read book You Who Why You Matter and How to Deal With It written by Rachel Jankovic and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If "Who am I?" is the question you're asking, Rachel Jankovic doesn't want you to "find yourself" or "follow your heart." Those lies are nothing to the confidence, freedom, and clarity of purpose that come with knowing what is actually essential about you. And the answer to that question is at once less and more than what you are hoping for. Christians love the idea that self-expression is the essence of a beautiful person, but that's a lie, too. With trademark humor and no nonsense practicality, Rachel Jankovic explains the fake story of the Self, starting with the inventions of a supremely ugly man named Sartre (rhymes with "blart"). And we--men and women, young and old--have bought his lie of the Best Self, with terrible results. Thankfully, that's not the end of our story, You Who: Why You Matter and How to Deal with It takes the identity question into the nitty gritty details of everyday life. Here's the first clue: Stop looking inside, and start planting flags of everyday faithfulness. In Christianity, the self is always a tool and never a destination.
Download or read book Assaulting the Gates written by Rev. Paul D. Borden and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the “Big Picture” approach that will aim your congregation at the mission field in your back yard, or around the world. Many churches want to make the transition from an inward to an outward focus, from catering to the needs of members to reaching out into the world to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Too often they try to accomplish this radical change by taking half steps and partial measures, initiating a new program here or adding a new staff members there. Yet this kind of change requires more. To succeed in changing its core focus this way, a congregation must learn strategic thinking; it must commit itself to seeing the big picture, and to taking the steps necessary to paint that picture afresh. Everyone, including pastors, lay leaders, key teams and groups, and the congregation as a whole must be involved in a process of transformation. Paul D. Borden, author of Hit the Bullseye and Direct Hit, knows that this transformation will not be easy. But if the target is bringing more people into saving relationship with Jesus Christ, what could be more worthwhile?

I write this story so that this generation may know how they got to where they are now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How long has it been since you made an intentional decision that shaped your life? Did that decision draw you closer to God or lead you away from Him? This thought-provoking book unveils God’s intentional decision to place us here, not so we could wander aimlessly, but to include us in what He is doing. As a result of this truth, where we live, how we live, and why we live become matters of great importance. Jesus lived intentionally. He was sent into the world and has already walked where we are to walk. He came to point the way to God, to save, and to serve. As a true Christ follower, we should have the same mission. Intentional Living will inspire you to begin applying this lifestyle philosophy by loving God with your whole being. Intentionally commit to think with God’s mind, see through God’s eyes, embrace God’s personality, feel with God’s heart, tell God’s story, influence with God’s light, and serve with God’s strength.
Download or read book Future Impact Connecting Child Church and Mission written by Dan Brewster and published by Compassion. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most vital mission field of the church is growing fast - and growing up all around us. How will we connect today's children to the full impact of the Gospel while we can still reach them? God created children in His image. That alone give them inherent worth, and means God has expectations about their dignity and development. In fact, God's goal is nothing less than "life to the full" for each one (John 10:10). A full life means a whole life. Yet as Dan Brewster makes clear in Future Impact, many children today face almost overwhelming barriers, like poverty and prejudice, that deny them the wholeness for which God created them. Our challenge? The church is uniquely called to remove those barriers for the children in our midst and around the world. Join Dan Brewster in this insightful study of children and their rightful place in the church's mission strategy. In this book, you'll explore: -The theological foundations of ministry to children -The ethics of child evangelism across cultures -The components of biblical, holistic child development -Practical applications of church-based child development programs -Why childhood years have proven to be the prime time for people to both hear and respond to the gospel -Unexpected resources to enhance the effectiveness of your outreach to children Discover why children have been, and continue to be, one of God's most cherished resources in advancing His kingdom. You'll never see a child in the same way again.
