In the 401 Class @ Granger Community Church, we begin to discover our mission in the world. The challenge of this class is "to commit the rest of my life to being a messenger of God's Good News to other people, and using my time, talents, and treasure for His kingdom, regardless of where it leads or what it costs." The church's pattern is to be witnesses of God's kindness, mercy and grace to our family & friends, to our community (Monroe Center, Feed the Children are examples), regionally (Son City Kids in Chicago), and to the world (India, Mexico), following the pattern of the New Testament: "You will be my witnesses-in Jerusalem, in all of Judea, in Samaria, and in every part of the world." Acts 1:8b (NIV)
I took this class 4 years ago. In reviewing the materials from the class, it is helping prepare for this mission. Since we may be asked to share our testimony, it is reminding of testimony themes, of finding common ground, of being able to share God's story and how it has impacted my life. May practice my testimony here at some point before going.
Will end this post w/ this verse: "Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind." Psalm 67:2 (LB)
