3 reasons for A/G missions success

comes on you and you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth." Acts 18

2. Indigenous Church Principles
The word indigenous describes something that
begins, grows and lives naturally in its own
environment.

Why do we do missions?
15
Because Jesus said!

• Mt 2818 "All authority in heaven and on earth
  has been given to me.
• 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all
  nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
  and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
• 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have
  commanded you. And surely I am with you always,
  to the very end of the age."

16
Jesus also said
If you love me, keep my commandments!
17
Because need is great!
Two-thirds of the world is non-Christian
18
80 of the world live in sub-standard housing
19
One-half of the world is malnourished

World Population Statistics

Increases 200,000 per day
21
140,000 persons die every day without Christ.
About 1 million each week or
50 million each year go into eternity without God
22
Giving to missions brings blessing!
But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given
to you as well. (Matthew 633)
23
He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and
he will reward him for what he has done.
(Proverbs 1917)

24
Give, and it will be given to you. A good
measure, pressed down, shaken together and
running over, will be poured into your lap. For
with the measure you use, it will be measured to
you. (Luke 638)
25
Consider this!
Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice before
everyone has heard it once.
-Oswald J. Smith
