Who Will Go For Me?

Isaiah 6:8

              Sometimes mission work at home or elsewhere can really be a frustrating job.  Many people hear the word missionary, missions or mission trip wince, and gnash their teeth.  When we talk about going to the lost and sharing Christ, many people never show up for the weekend emphasis, or Thursday night visitation, because they DON”T KNOW anything about sharing their faith.  They feel they don’t know what to say or that they don’t have enough knowledge or they just don’t have the gift or are shy…..many reasons cause God’s people to miss out on the blessings of sharing their faith with others.

            This morning I want to look at a basic Biblical Christian principle that for most should be a matter-of-fact, but for others it is a shock to find out how simple and basic God’s call to us to share our faith really is.  It is something that requires no previous experience.  It is something that does not involve extensive education.  It is something that anyone can become proficient in carrying out on a daily, week in, week out basis.
