3. Our Burden Spreading the Gospel who do not know or have no personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. ~ Acts 1:8-11

4. Our Burden “ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." Acts 1:8-11

5. Our Desire Is to simply… to “serve” where the Lord has given us the privilege and opportunity to be used as His tools, for His glory! ~ Mark 42-45 Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them. "But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

6. Our Desire Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

7. Our Goal Is the transformation of lives! ~ Ephesians 4:21-23

8. Our Goal if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, - Ephesians 4:21-23

9. We Follow the Methods of the Master Teacher Jesus; Lived a holy life Matthew 3:13-17 Bathed His ministry in prayer Mark 1:35 Was Friendly, warm and accepting Luke 19:1-10 Cared about people as individuals Luke 8:40-56 Courteous and tactful, yet direct John 4:16-18 A willing servant of others John 13:1-17

10. Jesus; Responded sensitively to the needs around him Matthew 17:24-27 Adapted Himself to the size of His audience John 4:5-26 Considered the background and needs of His students Matthew 4:18,19 He challenged His students to apply the truth the heard, but He never tried to force a decision Mark 10:17-27 Continually sought to glorify His father John 11:38-44

14. Why Children!

15. Child Ministry Only? No, A total functional church program is needed… We are to come beside the parents, because the responsibility of spiritually raising a child belongs to the parents!

16. “ Important” It’s always important for us to learn about the people and their surrounding community from the people themselves,

17. “ Also” How much more important is it to learn from the people who we are trying to reach? As we learn we can better discern how to reach the lost in a more effective and efficient way.

18. Missionary Our job from the beginning, is to work ourselves out of a job.
