Friday, May 14

Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.

 

The apostles must have been full of anticipation as they gathered on a mountainside. Jesus had, after his resurrection, arranged for them to meet him at that location. (Matt. 28:16) That was perhaps the occasion when “he appeared to more than 500 brothers at one time.” (1 Cor. 15:6) Why had Jesus called his disciples to this meeting? To give them an exciting mission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matt. 28:18-20) The disciples who heard Jesus’ words became part of the first-century Christian congregation. The primary mission of that congregation was to make more disciples of Christ. Today, there are tens of thousands of true Christian congregations throughout the earth, and the primary mission of those congregations remains the same. w19.07 14 ¶1-2

And its so encouraging to see how the 'mission' still continued as the world closed everything down ! in fact it increased , more hours are being spent in the letter writing , ones that are housebound or unable to be out on the formal ministry are now on zoom groups taking a huge part in this work.

 

In our congregation Auxiliary pioneers went from 7 to 42 for the first 3 months of the year.

 

More people are returning to Jehovah than ever.

 

Such evidence that Jehovah is behind this work and blessing it.

[Vinnie]

Jesus said Go make Disciples. Now we encourage and invite one another and others to come make disciples with us. We have been shown and taught many wonderful ways for this work to be accomplished and we all do our part. How we look forward to Christ's resounding "Well done"
