Hungary Mission 2005

The entire month of September I will have the opportunity, along with two others to share the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God in Hungary . We will serve churches from different denominations such as Church of Christ , Pentecostal, and Baptist. In this broad denominational spectrum we are glad that Jesus bridges the gap in any culture or denomination.

The message of the gospel of the kingdom is good news! In today's culture the gospel is watered down and speaks of salvation from sin and the promise of eternity in heaven. However, the practice of growth in the character and nature of Christ after conversion is lacking or non-existent, as well as, daily living a lifestyle in the kingdom of God . People are asked to pray a prayer asking for forgiveness from sins, and receive eternal life in heaven, but what about the time period from salvation to the return of Jesus Christ? Just as invitational authority is given to Jesus at the time of salvation; He also waits to be invited into every area and sphere of influence given by God. In Colossians 1:17 it says, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” The key words are in Him . God is the creative source of life and the ultimate authority. The place from where we start, influences what values we accept. If we want to see something different, we have to start from a different place. What is our starting place? What is our worldview or perspective of life? Do we start or view life from the kingdom of God , or, the kingdom of self? These are a few principals each team member will teach.

Our team will teach about the kingdom of God and His authority and nature in different settings with groups such as: pastors, ministry leaders, leadership communities, churches, women's and men's discipleship groups, intercessory groups and Women's AGLOW in Budapest ! Our team would appreciate your prayer support. Please see our tentative schedule.

Touching Hearts, Transforming Lives

One of the strategies of Master's Touch in transforming lives in practical ways is through compassion ministry opportunities. Recently these opportunities were through relational connections in Argentina and India . Through your support, funds were sown towards a woman who was recently widowed and had no source of income to pay for funeral expenses or daily living needs. She was grateful for the blessing and practical help.

Funds were also sown to help a pastor and his wife from India in their first mission outside the country in Germany . They will be serving a group of pastors in Germany sharing what God is doing through their ministry to unreached people groups in Southern India . It is exciting to see God expanding their territory to multiply in the lives of other servants of God in the world. Other funds were sown in India going towards a team of pastors serving alongside representatives of Harvest India who serve unreached peoples in practical ways through teaching, feeding, and healing. The team traveled to remote villages and islands predominately Muslim in India . Many people encountered Christ and received food and medical supplies. Some of these people had not eaten in over 10 days. These were areas devastated by the tsunami and recent monsoon floods. Thanks for your partnership with Master's Touch in touching hearts and transforming lives bringing the kingdom of God in practical ways!
