India missionary
• gives illustrated talk
•
•
Sunday was a special day
in the calendar of Lucan
United Church when Miss
Lillias Brown, Missionary to
India, was the guest speaker
on the Mission and Service
Sunday. 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".
