MISSIONS REFLECTION
DAY 6: May Your Deeds be Shown to Your Servants and Their Children
As we celebrate SCGM’s 40th anniversary, we can thank God for His promised presence (Mt.28:20b) throughout these 40 years. Forty years is a good stretch, but still only half of an 80 year lifespan Moses envisaged in verse 10, and only a fraction of the 120 years Moses may have lived when he wrote this psalm.
DAY 5: Driving across the African Country Roads
There have been many opportunities this year to reflect on the span of my life’s journey with the Lord. Among many things, I would like to recount an incident in which His divine protection was evident. God protected my husband and his vehicle load of passengers when it turned turtle.
DAY 4: How Do We Respond to God’s Call
I, like Moses, can often become so caught up in trying to understand my role in God’s plan that I miss seeing the fire of God. Keeping before me the wonderful reality that God Himself is acting with determined purpose to draw all nations to Himself, for His glory and for the good of the nations, is a constant challenge. We face a world of need, and that need can be overwhelming.
DAY 3: He will Walk with us to the End
Jesus loved the apostles. Although He knew their weaknesses and pettiness, he chose them. After choosing them, He walked with them. He talked with them. He taught them. He showed them great miracles. He showed them true compassion. Jesus was such a friend to the apostles. He is such a friend to us.
DAY 2: Following Jesus : What do we lose, and what do we save?
Mark 8:34 – What does it look like in real life to deny ourselves and follow Jesus? Other than dramatically abandoning careers and going overseas to become missionaries, which not all of us are called to, what does this verse look like for most Jesus-followers?
DAY 1: Salvation of Asian Elderly Parents
My parents’ generation of Asian Chinese descent had always perceived Christianity as a “Western religion” even though God’s desire in 2 Peter 3:9 is for people of all races and cultural groups to be reconciled to Christ. I had been mindful of the cultural context of my parents’ generation in my evangelistic outreach to my parents (who only understand Mandarin and Chinese dialects) for over more than twenty years.
