I was preaching on Barnabas the other night when it all came together. God has been providing so much encouragement through so many Barnabas-like figures who have been such a help to me on deputation (my pastors, other pastors, fellow missionaries, new and old friends, etc.). Where would we be had it not been for a Barnabas who came along to help and encourage us in our time of need, and how could we, as believers, not seek to be a Barnabas for another in need? This has become a conviction of mine and an integral part of my ministry during deputation. So many pastors, missionaries, friends, and strangers have shown up to help me in times and ways that it could have only been of God. I am thereby humbled and encouraged to be a Barnabas to those I meet on this Gospel journey and to encourage churches I visit to do the same.
Recent Highlights
• I was encouraged at FBMI’s Missions Mastermind in Bangkok in September.
• I encouraged Chris, whom I discipled last year, while he taught me how to fish!
• Solid connections were made at World Missions Conference in La Verne, California.
• While preaching on Barnabas (and the Gospel) in Warsaw, Indiana, on October 5, I was able to see a couple saved during Missions Sunday! Praise God for Dustin and Cynthia’s decisions!The goodness of God leads me/us to repentance. The goodness of God leads us to turn, to change, to grow. I always tell people that deputation is more about God preparing my heart than my bank account. Now don’t get me wrong, I definitely need the financial support, but it is spiritual transformation that is most needed to make the greatest impact for the Gospel. Please continue to pray that God would change me in the areas where I need to change and that God would use me to encourage churches on deputation as I’m constantly traveling across the USA.
Please Pray Specifically . . .
• For my safety and for more salvations on the road.
• That I would be a Barnabas to the churches I visit.
• That I would fill my schedule with more meetings.
• That I would gain more monthly supporters and get back to Ghana by spring.
And please, don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know how I can be a Barnabas to you!For the sake of the Gospel,
Abram Gomez
