View from the field…

Praying for #SBC24 to be an event/gathering that elevates Christ above all and spurs Great Commission work everywhere.

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
Habakkuk 2:14

Pray for us as we've now been back in our city for over a month. I've met with various pastors and am exploring ways we can serve the body.

Pray also for some potential civil unrest from a tense political situation.

Praise God for his sufficiency in all circumstances

Just made it to back to our country of service/life after 7 months in America. Getting over jet lag and getting into a rental flat soon.

Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send out more workers!

@jaredcornutt @DrPaulChitwood @IMB_SBC Thank you North Shelby for your kindness and generosity. Hope to see you guys on the other side of the world sometime!

- Lostness is the world's greatest problem
- The Gospel is the only solution
- The biblical example for getting the Gospel to the lost is physical missionary presence

The Lottie Moon Christmas offering goes directly to sustaining 3500+ missionaries getting to Gospel to the lost

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

I pray many churches are preparing their people for the @IMB_SBC 2023 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

Details at this link to help you and your church get ready!

@jaredcornutt @jkylebrosseau And it’s a great spot!

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Thankful to God for his goodness and glory!

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Preaching tomorrow here in Alabama and then in 3 more @alsbom churches in December. So thankful to SBC churches for the opportunity to proclaim God's word, advocate for @IMB_SBC missions, and share in close fellowship.

Praise God! #LottieMoonOffering

About to meet with a Birmingham area pastor to have breakfast and be encouraged.

Later today my entire family is driving to @NOBTS to stay in the on campus mission house for the weekend.

We’re starting a partnership with a NOLA church. They are coming to South Asia in May!

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Tomorrow we meet all day with around 20 individuals that are exploring moving to South Asia!

Praying for more laborers to go!

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Today was a Together 4 the Nations @IMB_SBC event with 60+ people representing 25+ different SBC churches.

Talked about the problem of Lostness amongst the 1.8 billion in South Asia.

Praying these churches pray & give & go & send to catalyze the work in South Asia.

Christian: Make sure you aim to make disciples of Jesus rather than make disciples of yourself.

Church Staff: Make sure you aim to make disciples of Jesus and not only "church members" (although we want them to be full members of the local church family, which is Christ's body)

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

@jaredcornutt The basics are
Test Cricket = 8 hours a day for up to 5 days
ODI (One Day International) are 50 overs = 8 hours
IPL (Indian Premier League) are 20 overs = 4 hours

Our muscles are weak at first because of underuse. Other people lifting those weights for us meant that they were much better at discernment and knowledge. Therefore, we always differed to them.

BUT you can’t differ your relationship with Jesus. You have to pursue him yourself!

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Free idea for churches

If we are to make disciples of Jesus

And to do so they need to be able to read the Bible themselves to abide in Christ

And Biblical context is vital

Why not do a weekly (Wed?) Bible study where you study in depth backgrounds to every book of the Bible?

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Too often we all know other peoples’ relationship and knowledge of Jesus and the Bible. We get to the Bible alone and can’t seem to find that same connection.

We all must work out our muscles
- Reading Scripture (knowing Biblical worldview)
- listening to the Holy Spirit

[Sam Mac @Multiplier2Ends]

Let’s put ourselves in position to proclaim the Gospel today
