I Am A Missionary
I found this video through my husband’s blog couple of days ago and I would love to share with you this encouraging and powerful video… It is only about 4 minutes long, would you please take time to watch it and pray?
I am a missionary…. to my children, to my next generations, to my family, to my neighborhood, to my city, to my country, to the nations.
I am a missionary through my every day life at home as stay-home-mom, through my words, through my work and even through my crafting and scrapbooking projects.
Me and my family are missionaries….
God created you and us to be missionaries. God created us to fulfill His plan. God crated us so that they will hear about Him, follow Him and worship Him. God created us for Him.
His calling is loud and clear. All we need is to listen and obey. All we need is to follow His footsteps to where He leads us.
He has called us to go to the people who have been waiting to hear the Good News.
“around 180 million people speaking 1,919 languages are understood to ‘likely need Bible translation to begin’. These estimates represent 1,576 languages with no known Scripture (98 million people) and 343 languages (81 million people) with some Scripture but no current activities in place.”
We are waiting to go, they are waiting…. for you and us.
“And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” ~ Romans 10:15, NLT
Would you answer this calling today?
Would you be the sender?
Would you be the goer?
When you pray and ask God how you can be the answer, check out these organizations and please be prayerfully to consider be their partners to bring the Gospel to the 180 million people:

Only Jesus Can
Starting today, I am doing the Mini HelloMornings Challenge in January with the HelloMornings group over their blog. They divide this Mini Challenge into 3 weeks:
Week of 1/6 – GOD Mini-Challenge
Week of 1/13 – PLAN Mini-Challenge
Week of 1/20 – MOVE Mini-Challenge
You are invited to join us for this mini challenge!
Today, this are verses spoke to me:
For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins. (Col 1:13-14)
No one in this dark world can rescue all people from it. Only Jesus can. This will be a Good News to those who haven’t heard yet. This news will be a good news when it is shared, preached and taught.
What can we do?
– We can pray.
– We can seek opportunity to share this Truth with others.
– We are missionaries to our own families; we reach out to our kids, unbelieved family members & relatives, etc.
– We can encourages each other in our church family.
– We can be partner with missionaries in reaching the unbelievers/unreached people groups.
– We can go as missionaries to our neighborhood, areas, other countries.
So many ways God has provided for His churches to be part of His Great Rescue Plan.
Are we in?
Focus UPG: Kluet of Indonesia
The Kluet people is one of the 39 unengaged unreached people groups in Indonesia. They live in Aceh Province, North Sumatera, northern part of the country. The population is about 50,000 people. They language they speak is called Batak-Alas Kluet.
The Kluet people are 100% Muslim, but the traditional animistic beliefs have not totally disappeared and often have significant impact. This can be seen in their daily lives, especially in special ceremonies. Many Kluet are afraid of evil spirits. They believe that one of the graves in their area has magical powers. The Kluet say that this grave can be seen at certain times while at other times it disappears. They use magic charms so that evil spirits will not hurt them. These charms help them feel calmer and more protected.
The Kluet do not place much value in education. Modern agricultural tools and methods would help keep them from feeling left behind and threatened by outsiders who come to their area. Medical assistance is greatly needed due to an increase in malaria and dengue fever as well as poor nutrition. Financial investment is very much needed.
How can we pray for them?
Pray that God will call the people who are willing and equipped to go and workers to show them the love of Christ and tell them the good news.
Pray for an emerging Kluet Church.
Pray for Bible Translation project will be started for these people. Having the Bible translated into the local language is an important resource for reaching an unreached people group. The written word in their own language adds validity and acceptance to the message, as well as making it more available.
Pray that God will use the most effective ways to send His message to the people.

Gratefulness Day 8: Something Big
I am thankful for God’s BIG VISION & DESIRE that He put in His people’s hearts to love Him & to go to share His Good News to this big world!
This world is big enough for us, but not too big for the Creator. I am thankful for each of the missionary that I know in my life who serves God by leaving their homes and make His mission field as their homes, to love the people He loves and to share the Good News with them so that they will come to trust in Jesus and to worship the One True God.
I am so thankful to be part of His big plan for Southeast Asia!
