Revelation
7:9-10
After
these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count,
from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white
robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry
out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our God who sits on the
throne, and to the Lamb.”
While listening to Dr. Joshua Bogunjoko speak in Chapel yesterday, I was marveling at the expanse of the Global church and rejoicing at the thought of worshipping with believers from around the world before the throne of God. Global Missions Week is one of my favorite weeks. I love hearing what God is doing around the world both through the speaker and the missions representatives. God has been teaching me recently the importance of missions, but not missions in the traditional sense (going overseas to serve Him). Rather, He has been showing me how much of a mission field is right around us, here in Langhorne and in any community. He has also been showing me the power of prayer, and one of my favorite books relating prayer to the global community is Operation World (located both in the reference section: BV2050 .M35 2010 and on the main floor BV2050 .J63 2001 and BV4811 .J596 1993 – these three call numbers are three different editions). Operation World presents a brief synopsis of a country and then provides prayer concerns for that country. Looking through the different editions from 1993 to 2010, it is amazing to see how God has answered prayers over the years. I challenge you to come and look at Operation World or the other books about missions that we have on display in the library lobby. What mission field is God calling you to?
