Scripture
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart.
They do nothing wrong;
they walk in his ways.
You have laid down precepts
that are to be fully obeyed.
Oh, that my ways were steadfast
in obeying your decrees!
Psalm 119:1-5
Quote
And, I would like to tell you now quite personally: since I have learnt to read the Bible in this way- and this has not been so very long- it becomes every day more wonderful to me. I read it in the morning and the evening, often during the day as well, and every day I consider a text which I have chosen for the whole week, and try to sink deeply into it, so as to really hear what it is saying. I know that without this I could not live properly any longer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Praying:
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Eph 6:19-20
We need a host of men and women who will regularly intercede for the needs of our ministry. Would you join us in prayer?
In Giving:
I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:18-19
GMTB is a non-profit corporation that depends entirely upon God’s people supporting our ministry. Would you join us in giving?
In Going:
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 28:18-20
One of the greatest adventure a man or a woman can experience is to see and serve the precious people who live and struggle in third world countries. I have found them so thankful and appreciative of the love that we bring in the name of Jesus. GMTB is always looking for those who will dare to leave the calm and comfort of the USA for the risk and reward of overseas service. Would you like to go? Let us know!
