HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

But for us at the World Missions Centre, Abidjan, it is an even bigger day. Today is the 5th anniversary of the launch of the World Missions Africa Blog.
When we launched on January 1, 2017, we had only on our hearts a message to share about the love of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and on our minds anxiety and questions if anyone at all will read the message we blog.
Here was our first blog post published on January 3, 2017:
“Welcome to our blog. World Missions, Africa is making every effort to bring the love of Christ to all humanity. Primarily, we focus on Africa now in our physical activities. But with the online community, our efforts extends to the ends of the earth.
Jesus died for all humanity. Every race, every ethnic group, every people, male or female, bound or free, the gospel of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ is free to all.
Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creatures,,,” Mark 16:15 Everyone has a right to the gospel. Our responsibility as a mission post is to make it possible for as many as we can, to hear the gospel so that each man will understand and make a clear choice for themselves.
As you visit our blog, and read this post, you are either in need of this good news or you have already received it but have the responsibility to share it with others.
We invite you to find peace that is beyond understanding from all your struggles and the weight of sin that has weighed you down all your life.
Jesus can set you free. And He will set you free if you are willing to open your heart to Him today.
DO NOT WAIT FOR TOMORROW JESUS IS CALLING YOU NOW.”
As at date, the general review of our status is beyond our imagination even with a less active and very less active 2020 and 2021 respectively, due to factors we couldn’t control.

Going back to the essence of this blog, the main message is still Jesus died for all humanity. Every race, every ethnic group, every people, male or female, bound or free, the gospel of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ is free to all.
Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creatures,,,” Mark 16:15 Everyone has a right to the gospel. Our responsibility as a mission post is to make it possible for as many as we can, to hear the gospel so that each man will understand and make a clear choice for themselves.
Our Goal is still Isaiah 9:2-4, The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
You have multiplied the nation
And increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of Midian. (NKJV)

Our drive is to Witnessing to the world, the love of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ will brings men worldwide to true salvation and reconciliation with God.
Discipleship is helping new believers continue in the faith and becoming disciple-making disciples.
“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” John 8:31 (NKJV)
Christian Missions is taking witnessing and Discipleship beyond your culture of origin as Jesus said in Acts 1:8.
May God’s love abide in your heart.
If you are not yet a believer in Christ reading this, know that Jesus loves you and has paid for all your since. He has acquired salvation for you at the cost of His blood and His life. All you have to do is open your heart to him and invite him. Here is a short way to do that:
Dear Lord Jesus, I am glad to know that you loved me and with your precious blood and life paid for my sins, acquiring salvation for me. Come into my heart and my life. Be my Lord and Savior. From this day henceforth, I will live for you and grow in this faith. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
That is a prayer of commitment. If you are convinced in your heart about Jesus’ sacrifice for you and you confessed the above prayer, then you just got saved according to Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 (NKJV)
If you are reading this as a believer already, join in the work force for the Kingdom, spread the love of God and help those who don’t believer know about the love of God in Christ. Start talking about Jesus today.
May His Kingdom come,
May His will be done on earth
As it is in heaven.
God bless you all.
May I simply just say what a comfort to uncover somebody that genuinely understands what theyre talking about over the internet. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people should read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you arent more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.
