The Great Commission STARTS WITH JUST ONE!
The words of Jesus still ring through the centuries… “go into all the world and preach the gospel of the kingdom” and ” lift up your eyes and look for the fields are already white unto harvest”. Whoever you are and where ever you are, God wants you to influence your world with the good news of what he has done in your life. Every day you are surrounded with people who need what you have. That’s why they are in your pathway. You may be the answer to someone’s prayer today. I challenge you to begin to really see people and take notice of them, care for them, love them, pray for them and find ways to bless and encourage them. Our church mobalization cry this year is JUST ONE. The great commission is fullfilled when every believer reaches one person in their world. If you have not found your one yet begin to pray and remember love is all the boldness you need. Below are some quotes from people whose hearts burned to reach people. I know your heart burns,too.
