A New Concept in World Missions!

Here it is, the link to one of the most important books for Christians who want to learn more on World missions. It is entirely free of charge, and so far it has been a blessing to me. It's so important to fulfill the Great Commission because that's what the Lord commanded us to do, it is the will of God for us to gather the harvest of this age. Millions of souls are waiting. It is an honor to work for the One who gave His life for you and me.

Your Favorite Place On This Earth


Yes, I'm fascinated with Italy and, not only there, also Australia, Japan, Peru's Machu Pichu, Tibet, and the small island of Puerto Rico, my hometown. Go ahead, it's good to daydream of your favorite places on Earth. It would be so amazing to meet people of different cultures! But for me, it's ok if I never make it to the idyllic destinations. When you travel, 90% of the expenses goes to the airline and the hotel, and roughly 10% goes to the locals. A good way to reach the lost and needy goes like this: I put some of my trust on charities like Operation Blessing, Orphan's Promise, World Vision, The Salvation Army and, last but not least, Gospel for Asia. I strongly encourage you to find out who are they and try them. Their records show that they use 90% of donations for all their help programs. We have been so blessed in this country... yet so many take it for granted. When the Bible mentions the rich, is actually talking to us, like my pastor says: "If you have a job, a roof over your head, running water and electricity, believe me, you are one of the rich in this world". After meeting the needs of my family, I continually give for "the least of these." Jesus prophesied it this way:

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when d id we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
[Matthew 25]
Follow His command and love your neighbor as yourself! Then, you will be rewarded as good and faithful servant, when the time is up to meet our Creator. Let me be like that, Lord Jesus!
