To Speak or Not to Speak?

May 8, 2023

That is the question, but you’re probably wondering why I’m asking it for a Mission Monday post. So, I’ll tell you. I recently had a conversation related to a cross-cultural worker who had only been in their country of service for one year. You know what that looks like—culture shock, full-blown language learning, and still … More To Speak or Not to Speak?

Know Jesus

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you can do it today by simply confessing your need for a Savior, acknowledging your sin and asking for Christ to cleanse you and make you whole. If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Do not delay!
