Today I have the opportunity to speak to a couple thousand seminarians preparing for ministry at Southwestern Seminary. These folks are working hard to prepare for ministry. This week they are having a missions emphasis. My assignment is to talk about leading your church to be involved in missions. A lot of what is I share today is only what you have done. My prayer is that it will be an encouragement and a challenge to these folks that will be Christian leaders here and around the world. I would appreciate your prayers this morning that these people will be touched for the cause of missions and, as a result, we will be closer to taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.
