Keep it up
Good morning,
I chanced upon your site this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that there is at least still some of my former colleagues active out there. I think you are doing a wonderful job in using technology to spread the Gospel. Keep it up, you are a star!
Kind regards,

Ten short-termers we don't want By George Verwer

Ten short-termers we don't want
Short-term mission trips have become very popular and many churches run their own
programs. Some churches want all their members to go on a trip.
Having been involved for 50 years with both short and long-term mission has given me
some very strong convictions about who should go and who should not go. Here are ten
short-termers who really should stay at home.
- Mr Selfish - the person who mainly cares about themselves and how much they can get out of the trip.
- Mr Tourist - the person who just wants to see the sights and hear the sounds. Not interested in hard work, serving or presenting the Gospel.
- Mr Lazy - they will have many reasons each day as to why they cannot get out into the work.
- Mr Big-Spender - they bring a lot of money/travellers checks and want to spend much of their time shopping.
- Mr Insensitive - people who push their own country or culture and are insensitive to other people's culture. They often leave behind a very bad testimony.
- Mr Critical - These people see everything that is wrong in the church and country, even among their co-workers. It is contrary to the basic message of I Cor. 13.
- Mr Unteachable - they are often very prejudiced and stubborn and bring hurt and confusion.
- Mr Prayerless - to me, it is unthinkable to have prayerless people in ministry or service. We are in spiritual warfare and we must use the weapons that God has told and given us to use.
- Mr Addicted - people, especially with sexual addictions, should not go. They can so quickly bring huge offense and even scandal. People with alcohol and other drug addictions need to get that sorted out at home.
- Mr Proud - Pride is such a deadly sin and often leads to division and broken relationships. People with heavy national pride easily insult and hurt the very people you are trying to serve.
Yes, short-term mission is a serious ministry and must be done in a way that will honor
God and bless the people we serve. There needs to be serious orientation, interviewing
and training before people go. There should at least be some life, action and godly reality
before a lot of money is spent to travel and serve among people in a different country and
culture.

Jesus is coming back soon
In the public hospital of ItaguaĆ (RJ) last weekendwas born a girl with hands joined together, like onewho's praying.The doctors told the parents that they would operatethe hands of that girl, and that they would give herantistatic. The operation was easy because it seemedlike the hands were simple glued together one membrane(skin) layer apart.When they opened up the hand of that child, you can'timagine what was written, JESUS IS COMING BACK, The doctors started weeping andall that were in the hospital.The suburb of ItaguaĆ is undergoing a movement now,People that have withdrawn from church are going backand others are receiving Jesus Christ as the onlysavior.God send that child simply to convey that message.After a few hours she died: JESUS IS COMING BACKI have received now I'm passing on!!!The Lord of Lords is coming back."Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call youupon Him while He is near:" Isaiah 55:6
