The following quote is taken from John Gilmore, Director of Global Mission Partners, at our recent commissioning service...
There are many journeys described in the Bible. Noah, Abram, Isaac, Moses, Joseph, Ruth, Nehemiah, Jonah, Joseph of Nazareth, Phillip, Paul, and many others are God’s travellers. God’s purposes are dependant on people who trust and travel. In each some one has to leave a known, safe place where they felt secure. They head off to a new unknown place. Each of the journeys is a journey of faith.
We believe and understand that God is calling Steve and Joseph to journey to Sudan. We have confidence in God’s blessing and in your decision to travel. We think that this part of God’s purpose for you.
Luke 10:1-12 gives advice to travellers…
· You will be travelling together.
· Where you go Jesus intends to go.
· Do not take baggage that will hinder you.
· It is risky.
· Give and receive peace
· Offer and receive hospitality
· The food will be an experience
· Speak good news and heal.
· You are trusted to do this.
· We know you go with Jesus.
This journey to the Sudan is an important one – we are confident that this is a Gospel journey and we pray for you as you say farewell. We commission you to go to Sudan.
