Ambassador's For Christ

This is not my own work it was taken from a good friend of mine Allen Johnson Director of Wings Bearing Precious Seed from a pamphlet that he gave each of us on the missions trips that we take with them. I believe it will be a great encouragement and help from each one of you. I hope and pray that I will be able to see you on one of these trips they are such an encouragement and help.

Ambassador:
A minister of the highest rank employed by one prince or state, at the court of another, to manage the public concerns of his own prince or state, and representing the power and dignity of his sovereign.
Ambassadors are ordinary, when they reside permanently at a foreign court; or extraordinary, when they are sent on a special occasion. They are also called ministers.
Why would one embark on a missions trip? What is you motivation toward such a trip? The judgement seat of Christ should be the primary motivation for every believer.
An Ambassador for Christ should be motivated by Drive - a drive to be "accepted of HIM". In other words, we should be driven to please God in all we are and do! Will you please Him today? If so what will you please Him with ?
An Ambassador should also be motivated by Duty - a duty to "persuade men." This does not mean that we are to get people to say "yes" when they really mean "no". However, there is a real hell and God has given us the ministry of reconciliation. Thus, we have a duty to persuade them by being a good testimony and persuade them by being a good testimony and presenting the glorious gospel of Christ. The Holy Spirit must do His work but what will you do today to persuade men?
Also we should be motivated by Devotion - a devotion that would cause us to present ourselves to Him. Jesus died that would cause us to present ourselves to Him. Jesus died for us and the least we can do is to live for Him! Are you devoted enough to present yourself a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your resonable service. Will you do so today?
An Ambassador not only has motivation but also the means by which to fulfil his ministry. God has provided the tools to carry out the task. The first tool in the toolbox of an Ambassador for Christ is his message - the gospel. Jesus already shed His perfect blood and rose from the gave victorious! All we have to do is share it. will you thank Jesus for His finished work by giving the message of the gospel to someone today?
The second tool in the tool box of an Ambassador is his manual - the "word of reconciliation". We are not pushing the Koran, the book of Mormon, or some other religious book but rather the very words of God. Remember, "faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God'. Only eternity will reveal what is accomplished through the propagation of the gospel through the printed page. Will you be faithful today to give out the "word of reconciliation" with new vigor and anticipation?
The Ambassador has motivation, a message, a manual, and a ministry - the "ministry of reconciliation". Statistics say that only 5% of Christians are an active witness. That means there are too many ambassadors that have gone AWOL (absent without leave). While it is an awesome responsibility to be an Ambassador for Christ it is also a tremendous privilege. Think about it, we get to represent the King of kings and the Lord of lords! How well have we been representing Him?
In addition an Ambassador for Christ also has a mission. Jesus came into this world to seek and save that which was lost and He now allows and expects us to be involved in His mission - the redemption of man! At the judgment seat of Christ you will not wish you had watched more TV or acquired more things but you will wish you had better witness. What will you do for the cause of Christ and His mission today?
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2Corinthians 5:21
While the first part of verse 21 ends "for us" the last part of the verse ends "in him". While we should want to see as many as possible get saved and we should attempt great things for God while expecting great things from God, it is dangerous to play the numbers game. There is an even more aspect to our mission - not only the redemption of man but also the reward of God. We should be busy for the cause of Christ and the souls of sinners but our greatest pursuit is to be the glory of God. May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His sufferings! My hope and prayer is that any missions trip will not only challenge us for the cause of Christ but change us for the glory of God.  What kind of Ambassador will you be for the Lord?

Introduction

Hi there! Let me introduce you to myself. I'm a pastor's son and have been involved in missions  at home and abroad.
I have had the opportunity to travel to Alaska and help at church out there and to northern Idaho to move my brother out there to start a church out there. I'm very involved in that work, I have gone out there months at a time to help and have lived out there for over a year.
I have had the blessing to be able to go on two mission trips to London & to Scotland & Ireland with Wings BPS. On these trips the Lord burned my heart about getting the WORD to the world, so that is one reason out of many why Ambassador's For Christ exists.
Thank you for taking time to know me I hope I will see you here again. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

My Testimony Of My Mission's Trip 2013

The mission’s trip to Scotland and Ireland was a great trip to share the gospel with the Scottish and Irish.

The team consisted of seventeen members from a; walks of life. They came with one goal to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them.

The Lord worked is a mighty way within and without. We passed out 15,000 portions of Scripture in Scotland and in Ireland we passed out 10,000 Scriptures and conducted a VBS, and saw eight or nine souls receive Christ as their Savior.

The time on the trip revived my burden, zeal, and passion to get the Scriptures to the lost world. It had renewed my vision, call, and goal in my life and ministry. The Lord revealed to me that someday He wants me to be involved in a ministry doing Scripture distribution fulltime.

I would encourage anyone considering a missions trip or have a heart for missions to go with Wings Bearing Precious Seed. They are organized and well equipped for the work.

HIS Ambassador,

Asher Neal

Vision

               VISION

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Prov.29:18)

When I think of a vision it is a dream you have of something in the future.  It is defined as ~ a sight (mentally), i.e. a dream, revelation, or oracle:--vision.  And a primitive root; to gaze at; mentally, to perceive, contemplate (with pleasure); specifically, to have a vision of:--behold, look, prophesy, provide, see.

Everyone has a dream of something for example everyone has a dream of being happily married, to have a job you love, to have an a good income  to support your family(man)  to have a husband that cherishes her (woman),to have good Christian friends that you love spending time with, & to have a good Christ honoring church that you can attend.

For me several things that I mentioned are my dreams. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. (Prov.16:3) The verse above stats that if we commit are works unto the Lord, that all of our thoughts shall be established.  For example are founding fathers had a vision of a new nation under God. Founded in justice, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. And look what will have had for the longest time.  A nation founded on biblical principles. Now we have to have a vision to believe that this nation still can turn back to God. We have to believe in it, & do are part, & trust God to do the rest. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.(Prov.3:5-6) I was reading my Bible the other day, & it said “All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king. (1Chron. 12:38) The phrase “one heart” stuck with me. The people came with one heart, if we do the same turn to God with one heart. He will hear us & give us innumerable blessings.

But sometimes we have to wait on our visions. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(Isa.40:31) Before some of your dreams come true we have to get on are knees & seek the Lord’s face. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.(2Chron.7:14)

 

For me my visions are this ~ to be happily married, to be involved in the ministry of some short, to have an income that supports a family well, to own my own business, to have friends that I love being around(& I do have), to be have a good Christ honoring church  to attend, to have a family I love.

The Lord had a vision as well for His people which is summed up in one verse “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Col.3:2). The apostle Paul goes on & explains in the verse & then in verse 17 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”  We need to be concerned on heavenly things not earthly. Don’t get me wrong we do need to be concerned only on heavenly things, but we also need to be concerned with our nation which was founded on the basis of freedom, liberty, justice, the pursuit of happiness, & Biblical principles. And to everything with in our power to preserve our freedom & our children, & children’s children, etc…  By whatever means necessary. Which is in accordance with His Word “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men  ; ( Col. 3:23).

I believe that pretty well sums it all up. Agree or disagree is not the object of this, but to clearly encourage & uplift each one of you. If you do disagree get in your own Bible(KJV) & search it out for yourselves. This is what I have come to, & I will stick by it until God shows me otherwise.
