Before Christ ascended to the right hand of God’s Throne after His resurrection, He gave His disciples and His followers the command, The Great Commission.  Jesus commanded that His follower’s were to “go unto all nations, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and teaching them His Word, His Truth (my paraphrase).”  He was essentially commanding us to reach all of the losts souls that live within this wicked world so they could be redeemed through the Blood of Christ that was shed on that wooden cross. 

Sounds monumentally impossible doesn’t it?  Well…it is, for us anyway but not for our merciful and powerful God.  It is peanuts for Him.  He could touch every lost soul on this earth and they instantly be redeemed as His children.  But He has chosen not to do it in this manner.  He wants us, allows us to honor Him by being on the frontline of His Army.  An Army of “Little Christ’s” that have but ONE objective:  reach as many lost souls as we humanly can.  Now, we don’t have any power to “save” anyone.  That’s His objective, His responsibility.  We are asked only to reach the lost of this world. 

So how do we accomplish our objective?  As you may recall from my earlier series, “God, The Great Commisson and The United States”, there are three primary ways to accomplish this: go unto the nations, financially support those that go and become a prayer warrior in Christ’s Army. The minumum is to do one of these.  In my personal opinion, no “Little Christ” has any excuse to participate in any less than ALL of these.  But start with one.  You have do one first before you can do the second and the third. 

Many are confused about the terms, “missionary” and “missions”.  They think that they are not missionaries nor have they participated in missions unless they have gone to some exotic, international locale.  Simply not true.  If you are reaching lost souls for Christ, then you are a “missionary” that participates in “missions” right where you are.  I do “mission” work everyday in my daily life, and this is a good start but that’s only a beginnning really.  We must be active in missions work in our community AND within our own nation AND internationally.  We must participate in all three!  I know there will be “Little Christ’s” that will argue they “haven’t been called” to participate in national or international mission work but I will tell you that you are mistaken and/or confused.  Jesus clearly states His “expectation” in Matthew 28:  18-20. 

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get started.  Gospel for Brazil is in need of serious, committed PRAYER WARRIORS!!!!!  God is doing an awesome work in Ubauna, Brazil and Satan is not happy about it (not that that matters).  We are in need of people that will go to our Lord in intercessory prayer for the lost souls of Brazil and Ubauna. 

First order of business:  Please pray for Joe Carr and his fellow GFB board member as they are currently in Brazil to meet with our full-time pastors in Fortaleza and Ubauna to go before God in fervant prayer to seek God’s direction and guidance concerning the “next steps” that God wants us to take.  Pray that their spirits will be open to receiving God’s short-term and long-term vision for GFB. Pray that God will bind Satan and place him under the foot of His Holy Son, Jesus Christ so that they will be protected during their travels.  Pray that the earthquakes in that area will cease, that God will pour out His rain abundantly on that drought stricken area and the conflict between Venezula and Columbia will not interrupt their trip.  This all goes hand-and-hand because Satan is working overtime to keep Joe and Paul from reaching Ubauna and seeking God’s face there. 

NOTE: I will be adding a Prayer Warrior page with very specific prayer requests related to The Great Commission and Gospel for Brazil.  Please check it often.
