Miss Brown, sister of Rev. Keith Brown, spoke to the children prior to Junior Congregation, using an Indian doll dressed in a sari and another one dressed as a holy man, to illustrate her talk. Speaking to the the adults on "We are in Mission!", from the Gospels of Matt. 9 and John 20, Miss Brown told how the Lord is using His servants and our support of them and their work, to extend His Kingdom in the land of India. "We are alt in mission for God when we know the Lord Jesus," said Miss Brown. If we are not for Him we are against Him and are either building Him up or tearing Him down as we live our daily lives. An apostle means "sent ones" and we are all apostles if we know Jesus, and He has sent us wherever we are in our daily lives, to witness for Him. This is what "Mission" is all about and which can take many forms. This is why we are all "In Mission".
