Mission Service Project for March
Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
The goal for FBC is $5,000. The North American Mission Board (NAMB) exists to help every church take its next step in missions and encourage every believer to live on mission. NAMB’s mission field is the United States, Canada, and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. These regions contain diverse ethnic groups, languages, and religions. Approximately 269 million people in North America do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Through your gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® and the Cooperative Program, NAMB supports more than 5,000 missionaries and more than 3,800 chaplains who serve in difficult places where the gospel is often unwelcome.

Pray for Missionaries Passage: Genesis 12:1-7, focus verse 2-3
1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” 4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

Harper G. Smyth, 1903, wrote a hymn, “Make Me a Channel of Blessing” which asks some important questions. Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing through you? Are you telling the lost of the Savior? Are you ready His service to do? Take a moment to ponder each of these questions.
When God called Abram, God promised him the land He would show him, Canaan. God promised to make Abram a great nation, bless him, make his name great, and protect him. These were abundant gifts from a good God. But God also had a plan and purpose for Abram and his descendants. Abram was to be a channel of blessing. Through Abram, all people on earth would be blessed and come to know the one true God.
Pray God would make you and the missionaries a channel of blessing. Pray His love would flow through you and the missionaries. Ask God to help you tell the lost of the Savior and be “ready His service to do.”

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
