My Mission Monday

Sharing Jesus Among the People

[1]

“Ministry evangelism is a greater means to sharing Christ,” said Ken Dean, community ministries field specialist, inspiring greater Los Angeles area churches.

He desires to go beyond the four walls of the church where the poor, crippled, blind, and lame are in need of a Savior. Ken states, “If the church wants to grow, it’s got to go! Being among the people affords you greater and more consistent opportunities to share the love of Jesus through acts of kindness. It helps the church to be seen in a more compassionate light, greatly expanding the kingdom of God."

A Mexican immigrant family came to First Southern Baptist Church in Sylmar, looking for food but finding much more. After the husband and wife heard the gospel through the Spanish ministry, both received Jesus as Savior and Lord; later their children made decisions.

“People come for food but find a Savior’s love,” Ken explains. “It’s about establishing the kingdom of God, wherever He reigns. When God rules in the lives of people, His kingdom has come on earth just as it is in heaven.”

Sharon, Ken’s wife, also serves families. She works in the Los Angeles schools to combat barriers hindering students’ learning and engaging parents in the education process.

Please pray God places a tremendous vision and passion in the hearts of His leaders to do intentional ministry evangelism. People will then be reached consistently for God’s kingdom.

My Mission for the Week....

Does your child/grandchild have a prayer circle at their school? My daughters have a group of parents who meet each Monday, near the school, and briefly lift up our Father, our children, and our teachers. What a great way to start the morning...knowing our little ones are being lifted up to God. Ask around and if your school has one, take the time each week to meet with this group or start one up yourself! Make sure you invite moms or dads who aren't involved in church. They may come to know Christ by meeting up with other Christian parents.
