A topic I probably should have written about before writing about football.


As you may know I am a missionary. I hold different jobs and positions within my missionary work, but the overall goal of everything is of course, to help people to believe in Jesus and His wonderful Words, and beyond that, to act on those beliefs.

We hold the answers and solutions to the worlds problems. No joke. And now, this is really something to be proud of.

Politicians offer solutions all the time, it’s their job, to provide solutions. They say they can solve a nation’s problems, that’s also their job. The cool thing about being a missionary, and one that believes the Bible to the letter, is that I and my companions, know more than most politicians and national leaders about what the world really needs. If enough people started obeying and living the Word like we do, there would be a literal heaven on earth.

The thing is, how do we get enough people to do just that? A common Christian term is “outreach”. Here I will examine some of our outreach methods and their potentials.

I’m gonna keep everything under three large and inclusive topics, building a church, social works, and *drum roll* propaganda!!! I’ll begin with…

Building a Church:

By this I mean a body of believers. Buildings are nice, but secondary, and due to my small knowledge of construction I will probably not be writing much about it.

Now, you can hand out literature and help out your neighbors for a missionary lifetime, and the printed Word and living sample will speak volumes, but you will be missing out on a major “reaping” for all your sowing unless you can get people together for fellowship, personal discussion, training, and sharing of goals and plans to accomplish them.

In our work, we have focused on this from the beginning, and the results are showing wonderfully.

Now let me say that I personally believe that most people in Mexico are saved. They’ve accepted Jesus as the Son of God and believe that He died and was raised from the dead. Therefore, I believe that our primary job is helping to change people’s lives and ultimately the country, for the better, by teaching people to live according to the Words of Jesus and the Bible in general.

The apostle Paul wrote “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”

Bold statement no? Yet, Paul had enough conviction in what he believed that he was willing to tell people straight out as Jesus had, to follow him.

If you know the Lord and know the Word, tell people about it. “Hey, we can study the Bible together, it’s got the solutions to your problems.” Getting

The human body is not eternal. Every Christian eventually dies, but how his or her mission in life lives on depends on what the person did during the years of life and service.

The solutions of the World are found in the Bible, so to give those solutions and enact them, one must be living according to the Bible.

It’s exciting, it’s big, it’s been done in the past, but it is also the future.

Well, I haven’t done the subject justice, but I want to get this put up, so here it is.
