Mission Matters October 20

Bible Verse

Acts 6:7,8 - And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Inspiration

Evangelism, p. 119. “We should make efforts to call together large congregations to hear the words of the gospel minister. And those who preach the Word of the Lord should speak the truth. They should bring their hearers, as it were, to the foot of Sinai, to listen to the words spoken by God amid scenes of awful grandeur.”

This month’s emphasis is Protestant Reformation! October 31st is the anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. It was started more than 500 years ago, in a large way by Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses in Wittenberg, Germany. Those 95 Theses were reprinted and distributed all over. The goal this month is to distribute 95 tracts!

Conversation Question: “Have you or anyone you know ever had a supernatural experience (e.g., believed they saw a ghost, had an encounter with an angel, etc.)?”
