MISSIONARIES Never miss an opportunity to call members of our congregation to missionary service, challenging us to do something great for God. Know that as you share your heart for missions, members of the congregation may hear God’s sovereign “life-call- ing” to missionary service. By faith, each service is an opportunity to either plant, water or harvest the seed the Holy Spirit is planting in the hearts of the next generation of missionaries seated in our congregation. Some will be chil- dren or teens; others will be “Boom- ers” or “Finishers” (mid- or late-career professionals) waiting to be prompted to follow God’s unique call to “Follow me” in this season of their lives.
