How To Congratulate When Someone Have A Baby

The Missionary Desapercibido

In the book of Acts there a chapter where he talks about un misionero que para muchos ha pasado desapercibido.
Quizás no describa todos sus viajes pero me pareció muy interesante las enseñanzas que hallé realmente me guiaron para no perder el enfoque en uno de los viajes que he hecho por mi país.

Si leemos Hechos 8:5
Lo primero que encontramos es nuestro personaje y la ciudad a la que fue:
V.5 Entonces Felipe, descendiendo a la ciudad de Samaria , les predicaba a Cristo.
Hasta ahí solo vemos que visitó una ciudad, pero si leemos el pasaje donde indica que el espíritu lo arrebató y luego se encontró en otra ciudad…….., Pero mejor leamos el texto.
V.40 But Philip was found at Ashdod, and passing through he preached in every city, until he reached Caesarea.

To summarize we see that he went to Samaria, Ashdod, when all the cities mentioned are apparently and Caesarea environment where as good evangelist I suppose it would no longer preach. Felipe
As we see it was all a missionary, but now many are unaware go to their valuable lessons.

Acts 8: 5-13 ( Philip in Samaria )
first before doing this study I would like to read the passage and to do other than seek the unusual events that occur in reading and Let us note, here are some:
- went to Samaria that is unusual considering that Jews and Samaritans did not speak
- Free and healed (everyone saw the power of God )
- People unanimous and attentive listening (not unusual for people to pay much attention when they shared the gospel and especially that this feature is given in all who heard him.)
- The Samaritans know the word allegedly were deceived by the magician.

now see their mission:
- It all started with his willingness to go to a different city to share the gospel.
- Shared waiting for people to change, (ie they were baptized, leaving behind all his previous life, now there was joy in them.)
- We clarified the message (no longer continued to be deceived by the magician)

Interesting what we have discovered so far but we continue with the reading


Acts 8.26-40 ( Felipe and Ethiopian )
scored again the unusual facts .
- An angel was sent, was specific. (V.26, 29)
- A non-Jew came to Jerusalem to worship (only did the Jews in that city)
- The Ethiopia not being part of God's people read the word.
- The Eunuch had a part of scripture (that was only in the synagogues).
- This man begged him to teach the scriptures
- Felipe was taken by the Spirit of God, that it was not strange to the eunuch.

Now again we see his mission.
- Removed the doubt, said the message of God (the eunuch was confused)
- From your question (in this case the passage), we preach Jesus
- led him to the feet of Christ.
- The eunuch asked to leave their former lives (He wanted to be baptized)
- Initially, the Ethiopian was confused, joyful end.
- Felipe continued to preach, this was no flash in the pan for him.

this understanding in both readings

What should we do in our mission trips?
First
clarify the truth, out of their confusion (Understanding that people know a word, but believe in God in their way).
Second
lead people to Christ's feet (we must not only preach but to make the call). Finally

proclaiming the Gospel, this is not just flash in the pan.

Lord clarifying the use and sharing the gospel
wherever they go ... ..
