What will you sacrifice for mission?
Global Mission Pioneers are the unsung heroes of Adventist Mission. Around the world today, hundreds of these laypeople go to unentered areas and people groups to start new Seventh-day Adventist congregations. Many of the places where they begin to work are areas where the church has never had success in the past, but nobody has told the pioneers that they can’t do it. So, on a small living stipend, they go and live among the people and put Christ’s method of ministry into practice. They mingle with the people in various ways: in the rice fields, playing soccer with kids, and in the cities. They show sympathy and minister to needs in very practical ways. And then they win the confidence of the people and bid them follow Jesus. These pioneers embed themselves as Jesus did incarnationally in the community. They sacrifice their time and efforts to live simply and bring others into a loving relationship with God.
Appeal: Historically, the Annual Sacrifice Offering has come at the end of the Week of Prayer, and it is an opportunity for us to sacrifice for mission. So please give generously to this important offering.
