When Paul said, “God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind,” he was not telling Timothy how to deal with the boogey man under his bed but how to “stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.” (I Timothy 1:6-7) There will be great resistance.
Commission #1
Last night we laid hands on our 7 Weeks team and commissioned them to their new responsibilities of ministry back in their home communities and churches. “Therefore, Amy, D’Andra, Meagan, Melody, Peter, Ronna, and Shawni, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.” (I Timothy 1:8) We are sending you back full of young fire; speaking in tongues, laying hands on the sick and done with dysentery (Mt 16:17-18). You will be scrutinized, tested, tempted by the stodgy religious and other sinners, and you must be an immovable example to all.
Grande Prairie is coming into its missionary sending destiny and Amy will be a notable example.
D’Andra and Meagan will deliver the challenge of the Great Commission to Mississauga’s up and comings.
Melody and Shawni may feel like they are trying to light fires in the rain but do it one at a time until Three Hills is re-fired in her World Missions destiny.
Ronna will push her way into the lives of people who need what she’s got so they can get where they need to go in God.
Peter is an example of the sold-out, life decision to the new generation of Thai kids who have grown up in Christian families. This world needs you all desperately.
7 Weeks in Asia has ministered through Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia, and are leaving behind a swath of new converts, blessed believers and greatly encouraged national leaders. Now we are on our way home and the word we send ahead is, “Get saved or get lost, but we will not compromise.”
Commission #2
“…nor be ashamed of us, His prisoners (in Asia) but share with us in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God!” (I Timothy 1:8)
The ministry here, as your churches back home, is built on promises and sacrifice, and embodies an anointing from God that is significant in preparing and mobilizing people into their Great Commission destiny. There are thousands of men and women who need to train in 7 Weeks in Asia and Victory Bible College International Thailand. And there are thousands of men and women, families and churches who need to partner with us, empowering us to mobilize an army of people like Amy, D’Andra, Meagan, Melody, Peter, Ronna, and Shawni in places like Thailand, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan...
So promote the ministry vision of Victory Asia to people back home and hurry back to VBCI Thailand to fulfill your destiny in World Missions. Application process here: http://www.victoryasia.com
