Missions

Our Thursday night Bible study has been focusing on the book of Acts. One of thye things that stands out was the persistence of the missionaries as they spread the Gospel. Travel would have been difficult, rejection and persecution often accompanied them on their journey. Yet they persevered even rejoicing as they served the Lord. In Acts 16 after Paul and Silas were stripped and beaten, they were placed in the inner part of the prison in Philippi they weren’t bitter or discouraged but prayed and sang songs. They didn’t let opposition or difficulty stop them. I wonder if today we would be as persistent facing the same challenges.
