I want all of you to know that God loves you. God gave his best for your redemption; his best was his only begotten son Jesus, so you would have an opportunity to be saved and be a part of his endless love for you. If you have not met him or had an opportunity to know him, please let me introduce you to him. I want you to take a moment and meditate (acknowledge him in your heart), you must believe in your heart that God allowed Jesus to come to the earth, live a sinless life and died on Calvary’s cross and he (Jesus) rose from the dead. Then ask God to forgive you for all your sins and once repentance has occurred in your heart you are saved. Once you have done this, you become a son or daughter of God. You will need to find a church to attend regularly so you may be taught about your eternal God. If you do not have a church home, you may come to be in service with us at The Mind of Christ Church located at 3312 Saint Clair Avenue, East St. Louis, IL.
God bless you.
WHAT IS MISSIONS?
REACHING ALL NATIONS ACROSS THE EARTH UNTIL HE COMES
To the believer missions means carrying the gospel message to those who have not heard it and trying to win them to Christ especially through a group of selected workers called missionaries, both men and women, and establishing the Church where it has not been established. In simple terms, Missions mean “reaching the unreached with the Gospel”.
To recruit, train, and deploy Spirit-filled servants into all the world to meet the spiritual and natural needs of humanity.
