In Acts 1:8, Christ gave his disciples a commission to reach Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.
Notice where he started? Jerusalem…right where they lived.
Jesus Christ give us the same commission, that is to reach those where we live (Jerusalem), those in our greater community, such as our state (Judea), those who live in neighboring areas (Samaria) and those who live internationally (the ends of the earth). Given that we are called to the same ministry of reconciliation as those first disciples, where should we start? That’s right…our Jerusalem…right where we live.
This summer we are kicking off a new evangelism program at Harvest Fellowship. Sure, we will continue to give to both North American Missions and International Missions, as well as State Mission Offerings; however, we are also going to focus more than ever on reaching “Our Jerusalem”. We are going to seek to reach out to our friends, our families, our co-workers, and our neighbors, because we want them to know the joy that comes form a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Will you join us in reaching out to “Our Jerusalem”?
