There are three primary ways you can be involved in God’s work through missions at Pinelake:praying, giving and going.
Prayer is a foundational need for effective missions. The Missions Ministry has people from within the church that offer prayer support for community, global and mobilization efforts. Prayer partners receive periodic prayer need updates via email and lift up team members and trips in prayer.
Community Missions Prayer Advocate – Prays for needs involving the ministries where Pinelake serves locally in the Jackson area and in the US
Global Missions Prayer Advocate – Prays for needs of our international missionaries and international mission locations
Missions Mobilization Prayer Advocate (The M938 Initiative) – A prayer initiative based upon Matthew 9:38 which directs us to pray earnestly, asking God to call workers into the harvest.
Through giving financial resources, you become a sender of missionaries. Some mission trips can be expensive and through faith people rely on the generosity of others to make their participation in a trip a reality. There are two ways to be a sender:
Many of the people who participate on a mission raise their own funding. If you
receive a request for financial support from a short-term missionary, prayerfully
consider sending the person by contributing to their mission trip. Small groups
can greatly contribute to the sending of a mission participant with financial
support and through care of the participant’s family and home while they are
gone.
Pinelake has a Missions Fund, which provides mission trip scholarships to
qualified applicants. In 2007 the church provided assistance to more than 30
international mission team members. Additionally, the Missions Fund provides
ministries which Pinelake supports.
God calls us all to be active participants in His mission to reach and redeem the world.
Often one of the most life-changing things you can do is to go on a mission trip. If you
would like to take part in ministering in this way, begin making plans by:
Praying about where God is calling you to serve
Decide if you would like to serve on a missions team as an individual, as a family
or as a small group
Reserve the time and make plans accordingly
Pinelake has relationships with several local ministries throughout Jackson. Teams from Pinelake will be serving
along side these ministries working to meet the physical needs of people. These ministries, like Pinelake, believe
the hope for Jackson is the same as it is for the rest of the world … Jesus Christ. By showing that we care and
are concerned about their physical well being, we have a platform from which we can share the love of Jesus
both in word and deed.
Pinelake is working with two local ministries in 2008 whose primary focus is the revitalization of neighborhoods in forgotten
areas of Jackson. These ministries are Mission First and the Perkins Center. Both ministries offer clean, safe
accommodations for groups to stay and work. We will be spending several weekends at these ministries to assist
them in reaching downtown Jackson for Christ.
