LET'S GO!
We sang this song in Sunday School as kids. One of those upbeat, group participation songs that everyone borderline yelled. Oh the memories :)
As I think about my sweet friends the Shafer's and how they packed up everything and moved their family to Peru to work and be missionaries I feel a twinge of jealousy. I want to do that. I want to be used big (in my opinion) to build the Kingdom! I've wanted to work in Peru since I was a little girl. I don't know why Peru, but that's where I wanted to go. I was praying and God spoke very clearly to me... "Work as a missionary where you are called now". So as I thought about how to do that I thought I would make a list in case anyone else has wondered the same thing...
•Pass out fliers with your church service times and directions on it
•Make a "Blessing Bag" to have at the ready
There are several routes you can take here... homeless, elderly, new mom, etc...
•Work with your church to organize outreaches
•Give expecting nothing in return
Buy a restaurant/retail gift card and leave it for a neighbor/friend/co-worker/stranger
•Take up donations for your church's or city's food pantry
•Pray for...
Your Neighborhood
Your City
Your County
Your State
The area your church is in
•When someone you know asks for prayer for a need, pray right then with them!
•Keep different cards on hand to mail out for a sickness, birthday, thinking of you occasion.
•Don't say "If you need help, let me know". Instead say... "What do you need help with?".
If you have anymore ideas... feel free to share!
