New
Beginnings church is all about being on mission. Over the years I’ve looked for
ways to get our family on Mission for God. Now with an 7 and 4 year old I’ve
also found our discovery about what mission is as important as us “doing”
mission service. A Faith Mission is where the Gospel spreads like Good News
does. At New Beginnings Church we dream of seeing church families catalyzing
the churches mission in advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As your children
learn more how this is done through missions they will be more likely become
practicers of Faith Mission. For children a Faith Mission is simply looking at
any act of service and changing the focus of it to how can we share Jesus
through what we are doing today?
I
often bring my boys along with me when I am doing certain projects with the
church, Jonathan enjoys visiting new people and giving away food and clothes.
David on the other hand enjoys entertaining people and showing compassion to
people who are hurt or in need. To be on Faith Mission in my household I have
to be looking at the opportunities around me to share the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and make my family aware that we are going to make a conscious effort to
be a witness in our chosen activity.One thing about missions is that it’s contagious. I’ve found that once people get around others who are on mission for God their passion begins to spread like wild fire. If you would like your child to get a taste for mission and share in a Faith Mission experience with your child would you consider joining us at Mission Ignition 2013. Bring your school age children out March 2nd from 9am-3pm to 1st Baptist Church of Tulsa for a day focused on “Missions” as children hear from missionaries from all over the world?

This is a tremendous opportunity to infold the youngest
members of our church into an environment that values missions and teaches
their importance in our culture and to our faith. My hope for attending this
day with my boys is that they will be able to get hands on misisons experience
as they rub elbows with people from the front lines. I pray that they will
develop an excitement and passion for missions when they see it’s importance to
me and other adults. Finally, I want them to have a fun experience with their
peers as they begin to develop a heart for missions and decide how the
“together” can be on mission for God.
The Genesis Kid’s Children’s Ministry will come back from this missions
immersion event with an assigned mission project that we can all together begin
to practice as we live out the Gospel, amongst the community of believers,
through our actions, words, prayers and sacrifices. I do hope you will join us for Missions Ignition. If you have any questions or would like to reserve a spot please e-mail
me at travis@nbchurch.info.
Remember tickets are $10 in advance at the church through
Feb. 27th or $15 each at the door. Parents come along and bring your
kids to 1st Baptist Tulsa to immerse them on this Faith Mission.
