Big Leaps: Matthew Meals

Media Missions has a ministry locally in Pensacola, Florida but also Internationally in Australia. Through my connections with missionary Steven Maldoff, I design various flyers and bulletins for Murray River Baptist Church of Buronga, NSW, Australia. I called this post a Big Leap because of how far away Australia is spatially, yet we are still able to use our talents to reach people for Jesus. This next month, MRBC will be running a series of events called Matthew Meals. The concept is based upon Luke 5:27-32. Matthew, the tax collector (also called Levi), was called of Jesus to follow Him. Matthew then holds a big feast where he invites all his friends, family, and co-workers to meet Jesus.

A Matthew Meal is an evangelistic opportunity for the members of MRBC to do just that. Throughout the month of May this will be ongoing. I share this with you for three reasons. Firstly, to promote the events at Murray River Baptist Church. Though, most of my Australia friends either live too far away from Buronga, or are already in the church. The second reason is to give you the idea of hosting a Matthew Meal at your church. If you are interested in unique ways to have evangelist outreaches, then give this a try and suggest it to your pastor.

Thirdly, I ask you to pray. Will you join with me in prayer for these events? Pray that souls would be saved and that others would gain an interest in the church. At the very least, pray that God plants seeds in the hearts of the lost that eventually it may be watered and God would give the increase.
