MISSIONS: “They Can’t Kill Me Twice”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2024
- Dr. Mike Fullingim felt the specific call to mission service while hearing a sermon from Jeremiah 5:19: “…you shall serve foreigners in a land that is not yours.” But as he looks back, he can see that even as a young boy God was drawing his heart toward missions and people different from him. Twelve years after hearing that sermon, Mike and his family went as missionaries to Papua New Guinea.
Dr. Mike and his wife, Barbara, served eight years on the field, with a break between terms for him to pursue further linguistics education. In 1987, Dr. Mike was finishing his PhD in linguistics and anthropology. After completing his doctoral program, offers for teaching jobs flooded in. But his heart was still in PNG. As he sought God’s will, and considered his children’s educational needs, Dr. Mike took a one-year teaching job at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
As he wrestled with what direction God was leading, Dr. Mike read a quote from Dwight L. Moody: “It’s better to train ten people than to do the work of ten people.”
Today, 35 years after signing that “one-year contract,” Dr. Mike is still training future missionaries at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. His former students-more than 200-are serving today as gospel workers around the world-including hostile and restricted nations where Christians are persecuted. One of his passions is helping students develop tools to learn language-a key factor in long-term fruitful service on the mission field.
Listen as Dr. Mike shares about his missionary calling, how he wrestled with the painful decision not to return to PNG, and how we can pray for missionaries currently serving around the world-and for God to call forth more workers to go into ripe harvest fields, even in dangerous places.

I have a friend that I have supported for over 30 years who went to Indonesia
to translate an un written language. Now do to health reasons he is in that transition period.
I sent him this and believe Dr. Mike's words will bless him abundantly.
Thanks for sharing.
Amen to faithful servants, no matter the cost!
The "servants" of God are ethnic Israelites NOT heathen as it's written
(Leviticus 25:55)(Luke 1:54-55)

I've started to learn mandarin. It is a long term investment. I can communicate myself and build relationship.
I even started learning a bit about Laotian and Hmong and the different tones. 😊
Learning mandarin actually made me feel confident I can pickup other languages along the way. 😊
Hallelujah
thank you
3 John 5 = The answer for assuring sustaining peace, when gospel love in missions isn't appreciated as persecution is confronted by rightousness* Philippians 1 9 Paul! & Psalms 34 david@
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi
Speaking in tongues ( other languages) springs to mind, as at Shavuot( Pentecost)
‘And they all heard in their own languages’! WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT HOLY SPIRIT ENABLING?
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world government from Jerusalem.
God bless you for your programme . Praying for you'll. From Durban,SA

I'm on about how the word gentile is used by modern day Christians to blaspheme God's word

FUTURE FOR HEATHEN GENTILES
(Revelation 2:26-27) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power OVER THE NATIONS and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father
(Psalm 2:8-9) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the "HEATHEN" for thine INHERITANCE, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel
(Daniel 2:44) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall NOT be left to OTHER PEOPLE but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
(Isaiah 54:3) ; and thy seed shall inherit the "GENTILES"
(ISAIAH 14:1-2) for the LORD will have mercy on Jacob and will yet choose ISRAEL and set them in their own land: and the "STRANGERS" shall be joined with them and the house of ISRAEL shall POSSESS them in the land of the Lord for "SERVANTS" and "HANDMAIDS" and they shall take them CAPTIVITIES whose CAPTIVES they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors
(Isaiah 60:11-12) 11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the "GENTILES" and that their kings may be brought For the nation and kingdom that will NOT serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be UTTERLY WASTED
