*DAILY DEW 14/DECEMBER/2022* *Global Missions is Every Local Church’s Job* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth."* (Mark 1:37-38 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ If you put these things together, you see that, pastors love people in our local churches (local ministry), and we love people in our local communities (local mission) to the end that one day all peoples in all the world receive the gospel of God and revere the glory of God (global missions). Local ministry matters in that it is part of a global God making clear through his people that every person on the planet might hear the glorious news of redemption in God through Jesus Christ. _Apostolic Example_ When we read through the book of Acts, we see a clear priority within the roles of the local church—the priority of spreading the gospel across the globe. In Acts 13, we see the church at Antioch worshiping, fasting, and praying. In the context of that local church with its leaders, the Spirit set apart Paul and Barnabas as missionaries. The church prayed over them and sent them out, supporting them as they went. Twice Paul returned to Antioch to encourage that local church, and then on his third missionary journey, he wrote a letter to another local church, one in Rome, to ask for their support in helping him get to Spain, where Christ had not yet been named. _MEDITATION:_ *"In this way, we see local churches sending, shepherding, and supporting men and women on global missions."* *#David_Platt* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
