Called Commissioned Commended

Every missionary’s testimony both of those who served in the past and those serving at present, whether globally or locally, is an encouragement and a beckoning to future race-runners, a valuable resource for Christians called to harvest and build the body of Christ.Marjory Patrick was called to be a missionary at the age of 14. Her husband, David, surrendered his life to the Lord and became a full-time missionary after reading a pamphlet entitled, Hearing the Call of God. Together, they travelled to South Africa in 1988 for their first short-term mission trip. Then, in 1992, they and their 4 children left Michigan, USA, singing As For Me and My House We Will Serve the Lord. They had no way of knowing when, or if, they would return. CALLED COMMISSIONED COMMENDED not only relates their exciting 25+ years of missionary service but it also answers several vital questions:·Why do so many people who live on global mission fields desire African-American missionaries?· How can one be sure one is called to missions?· What impact does serving on a foreign field have on missionary children?· How do missionaries raise support for their work?From the Patricks, you will gain wisdom and insight into the ways that God, the Lord of the Harvest, uses ordinary, individual lives and circumstances to do the seemingly impossible — build His kingdom and glorify Himself. Each page will stress the accelerated urgency of the Great Commission. The author challenges you to respond when you are CALLED to run the race. She encourages you to be COMMISSIONED to the work God has uniquely gifted you to do, and to remain devoted to your task until the finish line, until the Lord has COMMENDED you: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”Every book sold will help to send a missionary on a mission.
