“And take the helmet of salvation,

. . . praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

. . . that utterance may be given to me,

that I may open my mouth boldly

to make known the mystery of the gospel,

. . . that in it I may speak boldly,

as I ought to speak.”

North American Mission Board Missionary says thanks for gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

I was thinking about the freedom I have to meet with unchurched people at starbucks, celebrate birthdays with apartment managers, and coach guys who are passionate about fulfilling their ministry purpose by leading a church. Then I realized very little of that would happen without you and your church giving through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Your gifts afford me the living and thus the time to invest in these people’s lives. You are helping me give back and develop the next generation of leaders. I want to take this time to personally thank each of you who has missions so deeply embedded in your soul that you give your dollars to support a work you may never see. People are being changed for eternity, hope for the hopeless, peace for the restless, and Jesus is being lifted up because you are cooperating together with us in the field. Thank You!!!
