LCMC Missions Forum

We invite all people who are passionate about missions to join this discussion group. It gives us an opportunity to network together in several areas related to our mission to serve Christ.

First, this discussion group will offer a gathering place where prayers can be requested and offered. While we each belong to our individual congregations, we are also all brothers and sisters in Christ, and we should share in one another’s burdens and blessings. God’s Word says in Timothy 2:1 (TNIV) “I urge then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone.”

Next, this discussion group will offer a gathering place that can be used as a clearinghouse for information and ideas related to mission work. You can let many others learn about your mission experiences by sharing your post with this discussion group. Jesus said in John 14:12 (TNIV) “Truly I tell you, all who have faith in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.” During Jesus time the apostles were limited to sharing on an individual scale to one person or small groups. Today, we have been given the gift of the power of the internet. It allows us to network over long distances with others anywhere in the world. By using this gift for the benefit of promoting God’s mission work, perhaps we can do “even greater things” than the apostles were able to do during the time of Christ.

In addition, this discussion group can be a gathering place for Christian fellowship with a pleasant and informative conversation between God’s people who have a common interest in helping our neighbor both physically and spiritually. The fellowship is an important part of keeping our Christian faith strong and alive. In Acts 2:42 (TNIV) it says the early Christian community “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.”
