AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER THE GOSPEL

One of the great joys of ministry is the opportunity to invest in other of the Lord’s servants. I continue to pray that God will raise up an army of evangelists, gospel men, for this generation. Increasingly, it is my burden to help enlist, equip, and encourage those who believe this is the call of God on their lives. We need more evangelists!
A decade ago, when God led me into evangelistic work, I was convinced that a big part of that was to help equip others to do the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12). If everything reproduces after its own kind, then evangelists should not just leave new believers behind, but also new witnesses. The greatest gospel advance may come after the evangelist has left town.

An Opportunity In A Needy Place

The Lord has opened a door at this time for us to help further His cause in a needy place. Haiti is a nation in political and moral chaos. Gang violence and disorder have ravaged the country. A brief news check from the region has headlines like “nearing point of no return.” The real problem, of course, is spiritual. Haiti needs the gospel.
A group of Haitian men have surrendered their lives to serve as evangelists in that dangerous and needy place. We have been asked to come spend a few days with them in the Dominican Republic. It will be a time of intensive training. We pray it will equip them to reach their people. Amid all of the conflict, the reality is this: souls are dying, and Christ is the only hope.
I am excited to come alongside these men and those who are working with them later in May. Two of our team members, Chase and Micah, are traveling with me and will be helping with the teaching and mentoring as well. Would you help us?

1. Please pray.

You may not be able to make the trip, but your prayers can go where you cannot. Pray for laborers and lost souls. Ask God to give a great gospel advance. Intercede for our team and for fruitful meetings. We do believe that even “the gates of hell shall not prevail” against the church and the message of Christ. Crisis times are opportunities for the Lord to do a mighty work. (Click HERE to learn how to pray.)

2. Consider giving.

All of our work at Enjoying the Journey is done by faith and funded by the gifts of God’s people. We need several thousand dollars to cover the expenses for the team traveling to the region and the resources we hope to pass along to the gospel workers there. If the Lord leads you to have a part in this effort, we would be very grateful. All that is given will be used for this gospel project, and each gift is tax-deductible. Most of all, it will be an investment in eternal souls and the furthering of God’s kingdom in the Devil’s territory.
You may give securely at enjoyingthejourney.org/dr-mission/.
Thank you in advance for your partnership in the work of the Lord. May God continue to use you to further the gospel wherever you are. Soon we will all meet at the throne and rejoice together.

Pictured are the men who we will be working with. Would you commit to pray for them in the coming months and years?

A journey through 1 John reveals our place in the family of God, how we can have assurance, and that our joy is rooted in Christ.

Journey through 1 John

“Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.” (John 1:47-48)

Why the Story of Nathanael Sitting Under the Fig Tree Matters

It also discusses the Four Sermons in Haggai It is in that context that God raises up the prophet Haggai with four sermons in four months. The Word of the Lord comes to Haggai, and he preaches four sermons. Each one of them is dated for us. Each sermon targets a different problem. You can read them in Haggai chapters one and two. In his first sermon (Haggai 1:1-15), Haggai preached on the danger of waiting when we should be working. They were waiting for a sign to build. He said, You don't need a sign, you need to obey God. Haggai's second sermon (Haggai 2:1-9) explained the danger of lamenting the past and missing the present. They were sorrowing over the destruction of the past temple. God said, Build a new one. It was G. Campbell Morgan who said, “It is impossible to unlock the present with the rusty key of the past." Many people are bogged down in their past and miss the present. Keep in mind what is at hand and what is ahead. The third sermon he preached (Haggai 2:10-19) described the danger of seeing only the material and neglecting the supernatural. They could see the work that needed to be done, but they missed the fact that God had resources that would help them get it done. The Lord was behind all of this. The fourth sermon (Haggai 2:20-23) warned against the danger of recognizing who is against us and forgetting who is for us. They were concentrating on the opposition and forgetting that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). A journey through Haggai shows us the importance of performing the work that God has told us to do, and His glory in our obedience. Image leads to an overview of Haggai
