Experience and the served.

When I think about misisons end to end (that is the person providing financial support to the person who is being served in the field) I want to examine the person being served first.


What should the experience be of someone being served (that is what should they expect)
  1. They should hear the Gospel (Mark 16:15)
  2. They should experience the love of God through people (John 13:34-35)
  3. They should have their physical needs met (food, shelter, clothing, education, health care) (James 2:15-17)

I realize I've simplified it down to the kernel, and I've done so intentionally.

In a future post I will examine what the experience should be for a missionary or mission team
