Be Fishers of Men


Most of us have goals, plans and dreams in life. Did you know God also has a dream? When we are too focused in the pursuit of our own dreams, we tend to forget what God wants to accomplish through our lives. Whatever we amass for ourselves – career, business, homes, cars, stocks, retirement or even family and friends will pass away one day. Only what we do for God will stand for eternity.

I meet Christians everywhere who think, “I’m a sinner. I’m not qualified. I’m not trained. I don’t have any talents.” But that is not true! You see, God has not only called each and every one of us to do something great but He has promised to equip us for the job. Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people" (Matthew 4:19 NLT)!

God wants us to be productive for the Kingdom. Often it is hard to share the Gospel with people who have heard it so many times that they are tired of it. That should never stop us from sharing the Good News with people in our lives. But we are also called to be world Christians. That means there are millions of people in the world who have never heard the name of Jesus – once! It is our job to make sure that they do. God commanded us to evangelize the world and not just our own community.

One way you can participate in winning lost souls and making disciples every day is by partnering with one of our native missionaries in Asia. They work tirelessly to share about the Lord and make disciples for Christ. They suffer endless persecution yet they willingly lay down their lives every day. Will you prayerfully consider partnering with a missionary who will win souls for you? Nobody wants to be a pauper in heaven. I can guarantee investing on the native missionaries will make you rich in souls in heaven.
