If you want someone to remember what you say, make it the last thing you say. What was the last thing Jesus said to his disciples? Go and make more disciples.

This means that one of the essential aspects of living biblically is accepting the commision Jesus has given to his people. The mission of Providence Church is to glorify God by making, being, and unleashing fully devoted followers of Christ. Missions is making disiciples. Everywhere.

During 2012, we are inviting every single person at Providence to commit one week of the year to missions in some form. We are working hard to help numerous Providence folks plan and go on trips nationally and internationally. Small groups are taking on the challenge of travelling abroad together to take the good news of Jesus. Many of you will find ways to spend a week of your year in missions locally. However you do it, this is a privelege and a responsibility that the God's church must undertake.

Resources are available to help you find a trip or a location to serve. You might wonder what you have to offer on a mission trip. Consider taking our Thumbprint class to discover some of the gifts God has given you to serve him. Whether it's swigning a hammer, carrying water, or leading a bible study, you - yes you - can serve Jesus in missions this year.
