ADOPT A BIBLE WORKER
“An American businessman who was an earnest Christian, in conversation with a fellow worker, remarked that he himself worked for Christ twenty-four hours of the day. “In all my business relations,” he said, “I try to represent my Master. As I have opportunity, I try to win others to Him. All day I am working for Christ. And at night, while I sleep, I have a man working for Him in China.” In explanation, He added: “In my youth I determined to go as a missionary to the heathen. But on the death of my father I had to take up his business in order to provide for the family. Now, instead of going myself, I support a missionary. In such a town of such a province of China, my worker is stationed. And so, even while I sleep, I am, through my representative, still working for Christ.” CHS 170.4
PAMAS’ Bible workers are devoted, self-sacrificing and burning with the desire to see more souls saved. More like pastors than Bible workers they are the backbone of our churches and the church growth work, but just recently their support (from the Aviation dept) has been cutoff and we not only lack the needed support they and their families need, but we also can’t afford to loose them either.
Maybe you can’t serve as a Bible worker where you are or come over seas to work for God as a missionary, but your support of those who are already out here doing a amazing job of spreading the gospel and raising up churches will be as though you were working for God “twenty-four hours of the day”.
