Ezekiel Diet Note: Missionaries do the most important work on the planet and we act like they don’t exist.

Millions worldwide are being jettisoned by democide eugenics murder into eternal damnation like so much garbage.

Every week from now on I want to spotlight another missionary family worthy of your support starting with Things To Come Mission (TCM). There are so many I’m starting with the A’s at TCM. I’ve been helping one of their mission families for 20+ years. They’re a good organization that I endorse.

This new series of posts is in conjunction with my life experience and teaching Biblical Financial Concepts for 30 years. See a brief summary of that wisdom and teaching here: Financial Umbrella: Put a Missionary on the Payroll

This project has been on my mind for months; since I received a TCM envelope full of beautiful prayer cards. The idea to spotlight these missionaries keeps coming back to mind and won’t go away, From experience I assume it’s the Holy Spirit prompting. TCM’s new website and graphic work on prayer cards really helps to promote them. Their new website looks good. They must have a good graphics designer working for them.

I used to cringe decades ago as mission families were forced out of the mission field to do grueling deputation from church to church every year to raise support. Don’t make these good people do a dog-and-pony-sing-and-dance-show for their support.

Here’s my challenge, start sending any amount of money you feel led to give this missionary family every month, and watch what happens. You want to get God’s attention and blessings? Become a cheerful giver. Don’t give from leftovers; because there won’t be any. Give the first part and the last will take care of itself. God promises you will always have an abundance to give from. Put Him to the test; this is the only area in scripture God actually allows you to test Him. In Luke 6:38 KJV: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

God wants us to obey from love, not obligation. That’s why the apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:7“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

The word used for “cheerful” in 2 Corinthians 9:7 is hilaros (doesn’t have anything to do with “hilarious”). Hilaros means cheerful, without grudging, and it implies giving with a gracious attitude. Therefore, we are to give because God says so but also because we are willing and happy to do so.

Here’s my next challenge to all the Alternative Media Podcasts out there. Do me a favor and invite these mission families on an occasional show so they can tell their story.

He Who Wins A Soul Is Wise. He Who Trains Up A Soul Winner Digs A Well From Which Many Others May Drink.

Bob Xavier has dedicated 44 years to working with young people and families. He is Director of Set Free Ministries of Bradenton, Florida, and has been a Pastor and Chaplain.

My wife Beth and I began serving as TCM missionaries in 1980. Martial Arts has been an effective ministry tool for evangelism and training grace-centered leadership. I instruct students of all ages, from 5 years old and up. They all exhibit many wonderful character qualities and abilities: Respect, dependability, integrity, perseverance, the ability to listen, to follow instruction, to memorize Scriptures, and to assist others to reach their full potential.

We are forever thankful to the Lord for your ministry partnership and your faithful financial support that continues, by God’s grace, to be multiplied in the lives of youth and families.

In Christ’s Redemptive Love & Grace, Bob, Beth and Xavier Family
