This Sunday is World Focus Weekend. We hold WFW four times a year as our way of partnering with the work of mission around the world. Mission? The use of the singular is not a mistake. While we usually use the plural it is in fact a singular mission that we take part in. It is the work of mission, the one purpose, the singular task given to us by our Lord Jesus in the Great Commission of Matthew 11:28. Mission is not one ministry in our Church, it is OUR MINISTRY. Its the reason we exist. Mission is one call, one activity that flows out from where we are extending to the furthest parts of the world. Our mission is the see the return of Our King. According to Matthew 24:14 Jesus promised to return when this gospel has been preached in all corners of the world. So, how important is WFW? It is extremely important because it reminds us of who we are but also involves us in who we are. Each time we hear from a missionary we have one more opportunity to advance the kingdom just all the more forward. As the Holy Spirit stirs us during these weekends, he also invites to pray and to give. Lets take these events extremely seriously, not something else we do. It is what we do!
