“All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:15 (NIV)
Thanksgiving overflows to God as more and more people experience the life-giving grace of the gospel. Just as the Bay Bridge reaches across the Chesapeake to help people get to where they need to go, so too can we reach across the deep waters of language, economics and world-view to help others get to where they need to be—into a life-giving relationship with Christ.
Each of us can reach out in love to our neighbors, and each of us can amplify our impact by joining together to do what one person or one church cannot do alone.
The Week of Prayer for Maryland/Delaware Missions reminds us that the gospel is bringing hope to lost and broken people not just in far-away places but right here in our own backyard. Yet more people need to hear—will you pray?
The State Missions Offering provides an opportunity –above your regular tithes and offerings—to join with others to support a variety of ministries that are changing lives and transforming communities right here in our region. Yet more are lost and hurting—will you give?
State Missions provides a road for us to connect personally with people and ministries across Maryland/Delaware. You can make a difference in someone’s life this year—will you volunteer to go?
Week of September 11-18, 2011
