Thank
God for women like Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong who were mighty
instruments of God to raise most significant support for missions so
that today we have an IMB and a NAMB which are financially prosperous.
Ten ways our churches can continue to grow support of missions are by:
-Regular exegesis and exposition of God's Great Commission.
-Regular teaching on "Giving".
-Promoting the Southern Baptist Cooperative Program.
-Prayer and intercession for missions.
-Organization of mission trips.
-Organization of Mission Day or Week or Month.
-Testimonies and sharing by visiting missionaries.
-Testimonies of those who have been on short mission trips.
-Promotion of literature and films on missions.
-Seminars and Training courses on missions.
The Southern Baptist Cooperative Program is a good program that can help called disciples of Christ to study at seminary level. Without the Cooperative program such chosen vessels of God would have to struggle and stress themselves to earn enough to pay for their expenses as seminary students preparing themselves for God's missions. The fees are costly and without enough support provided by the Cooperative program, some students might have to quit or postpone their studies which is sad.
May God touch the hearts of His people to give faithfully towards the Cooperative Program and missions. Thanks and blessings to all faithful donors towards the Cooperative Program.
I may add that churches can also make use of technology (websites, blogs, emails, Skype...) to communicate with others and grow support for missions too.
May our Lord raise up a great army of missionaries for the advancement of His Kingdom unto His eternal Glory! Amen.
