“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  Mark 16:15 (NASB)

I had a busy year in 2012. I traveled to Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Africa and the mountains of West Virginia. All with the purpose of spreading the news of the gospel. Now you may be wondering how I managed to go to all these places in one year. Beside the financial expense, I am a wife and mother of two with a part-time job. The truth is, I didn’t actually go to any of these places.  I’m part of a group at my church called Hands Stitching 4 Jesus. We knit, crochet and sew items that are taken on missions trips. One of the items is a teddy bear wearing a backpack. In that backpack is a miniature wordless book and card that explains the colors of the gospel. When a child is presented with a handmade gift  it opens the door of their heart to receive the good news of the gospel. Each time I crochet another bear, I am sharing the gospel.

There are a lot of ways to be involved in spreading the gospel. Are you able to financially support a missionary or church planting? Then give towards that purpose. Do you feel a burden for those without Jesus? Consider praying for unreached people.    Do you know someone who is going on a trip? You can cook a meal for their family or help with childcare while they are away. Do you use social media often? You can help spread the gospel and bring awareness of the needs of others. Even with the smallest of acts, we can all help preach the gospel to everyone all around the world.

“Lord, we know there are people who need the gospel. Help us to use our personal gifts to make an eternal difference in Your kingdom.”

For His Glory
