I have been blessed to be able to participate in a missions class called Perspectives (www.perspectives.org). I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who has an interest in missions or just learning more about scripture. This course has been an absolute blessing to me as I am learning what it looks like to be a "missionary" both in Dallas and in Zambia.
In my reading this week, I came upon a beautiful explanation of the purpose of missions - God's glory. I wanted to share it with you, my supporters:
"God's glory flows in two directions. The first direction of His glory is toward the world. He shows His glory to people throughout the earth. He reveals who He is and what He has done in order to bring about the second direction of glory -- that people might give Him glory in loving worship. God reveals glory to all nations in order that He might receive glory from people through worship."
- from The Story of His Glory by Steven C. Hawthorne
May God be glorified in Zambia and here at home.
May we not lose sight of our great call - to share in the worship of Almighty God.
Blessings,
Anne
