The first Mission Team from Southern Bible Institute, Dallas, TX 2003
We have come, but others are needed also. Will you heed the call and Go!
This is a church on the Island receiving
teaching from the Word of God. The people are very hungry and attentive
to the word of God.
Nearly
twenty years ago I, Rev. Charles R. Leslie Jr. heeded the call to go
on a summer short-term mission trip. This was an eight-week trip with
Pioneers to Kenya, Africa. We were working with the Pokot people. This
experience
transformed my life. It made me see that people need the Lord. I saw
the power of the gospel changing people’s lives. It compelled me
to tell others also. My eight week trip turned into six months of mission
work. That’s when I saw the need to be a full time missionary.
I saw that people are hungry for the word of God. There is a void in
mankind that only God can fill. Thus, “Man’s only hope is
John 3:16!” As I prayed to stay and work with the Pokot people,
God was leading me to mobilize the African American Church into missions.
I saw myself as one but God could see many more coming to the field.
He said, “the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few” Matt.
9:37).
God is awesome! Just consider how He is using you. In the ministry He entrusted to you. I play a part in the ministry also. I am a mission mobilizer. I’ve been called to challenge and remind the African American Church of her Great Commission Call (Matt. 28:18-20). The Church is to “Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations”. The Church is to be doing mission work locally and globally, according to (Acts 1:8)
