TIME. It’s something we all have and we all spend eve- ryday. Sometimes we have enough time to do the things we need to do and other times we never seem to have enough of it. The truth of the matter is, we all have 24 hours in a day. We all have 168 hours in a week. Life demands that we invest much of our time in work to make means to live day by day. We need time to sleep and rest. We plan and often it doesn’t go as we wish. The Bible says we need to redeem the time. Two vers- es contain this phrase. Ephesians 5:16, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil and Colossians 4:5, Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, re- deeming the time. This means we need to buy up the time, make it useful and use our time wisely. How many hours do you invest into your relationship with the Lord? How much time do we spend in prayer? In church? In the study of God’s Word? How many of your 168 hours in a week do you offer to God? And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our sal vation nearer than when we believed.  Romans 13:11

Good to Be Warm!

You Can Help!

Every summer we have our Annual Missionary Pastors’ Retreat. This year it is June 17-21. Many of you take the form found in this BEACON and send in a love gift to cover the expenses of our retreat. This is our only monetary plea for the year. All our board members and missionaries gather at mission headquarters and have five days of rest, relaxation, fellowship, good food and the Word of God. There is much expense that goes with this week. We pay the travel expenses, any lodging needed and food. This is where your help is appreciated. Your generosity has shown every year that the mission has existed. Thank you for sharing with us.
