Welcome
Ambassadors for Christ Adoption Program
Mission & Purpose
Dear Co-Laborers in Christ,
Greetings in Jesus' precious name!
One of our promises is that we can do all things through Christ. Our mandate is to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, the good news that Jesus died for sin and loves all and the body dies to self enough to care about all in the world. Why Adopt you might ask? The answer is simple, however difficult, yet important. We His people are called sons of adoption, because we are led by His Spirit and overcome by the blood of the lamb. If we are like Him we will do things as He has done for us. If He adopted us, we can do no less. Why adopt? It is for God and His will, but equally for us. It is a different level of responsibility. Adoption is long term and what is needed today is for all to stand together in long term covenant relationship with God and each other in the body.
As you go through the following pages please understand that there are several uses for the word "adoption." Although we do have some resources and information on how to adopt children, the ODB adoption program is more geared to adopting a people, missionary, church or outreach so all can be reached with His love and care for the whole body and the whole person, caring for each in body, their soul and spirit. What this is about is for the body to work together as one body in His ways so He will provide for all. It is not about a religious concept of belief, but seeking Him and His will in all things so He will supply all of the needs according to His riches in glory. Simply put if we His people will learn to do things His way, it pleases Him and He deals with the problems and needs. When we do things our way, it is our problem.
Ambassadors for Christ Adoption program with Global Missions Initiative can provide the basic tools needed for any local church to proceed not only with an adoption, but also with the process toward making the necessary additional steps to reaching these peoples with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why do all of this or any of this? It's simple, do things God's way and the problems of the world are His, do things our way, then the problems of the world our ours. From the very beginning man has always had a choice to do things God's way or his own way. One has to look at the results to see that people across the globe need a lot of help, but it starts with God's people learning to do things His way and being resolved to continue to do them His way. It is our only hope. God has had a set way of getting things done and for Him to provide which is part of His covenant promise with His people, if His people want to do it His way. Salvation is a statement to all that we are doing things His way. We either are or not, but it is time to make sure we are by self-examination. Why do this? For any hope of tomorrow for us and our children. It is out of self preservation.
According to Matthew 28 and John 17, God
has enlisted all in the body to work together to complete the task of
discipling the peoples of the earth. We are to teach believers to
observe all things first for there to be unity in the body. What in part
is to be taught are His covenants, ways and commandments, which can be
found in “Can two walk together unless they be agreed?” It is a
short study that shows believers how believers can walk together to
accomplish His will. It is really not about teaching and preaching but
having the same understanding and can have the same view point so we all
can walk together and communicate more effectively having the same
goals. God through Jesus gave us the keys to the kingdom of God if we
are in agreement. We need to be agreed to His way of doing things and we
need to be in agreement with each other. To do so is the foundation of
Faith and without faith one cannot please God. At least if we understood
the same things then there is a least a hope of walking together in love
and unity if we have the heart to do so.
It is our prayer that you have found all of this because God has led you here so we can all work together as one body to accomplish His will. You (all of us as His Ambassadors) have a vital role to play in bringing the good news of Christ to all people who have never heard or do not understand that Christ is in two parts. The first is the head and king of all kings, which is Jesus, but the other part is the body and we are to be coworkers with Him and each other. There are important parts to reaching out to everyone in the world. The first is our part making sure there is no division in what we do understanding and agreeing on His truths in the covenants and commandments. Other components to reaching everyone globally, is to send believers that have been trained and prepared to go and represent Him and His ways. These are believers called to go. It takes commitment on their part to lay down their own lives for His will and need our commitment in prayer and finances. It is a unique partnership when we all work together so all can be reached. When we work together to accomplish His will globally, being a part of His global plan in prayer and financial support we are blessed as a part of His covenant promise. It is an equal blessing that we share in.
ODB works with all in the body that understand the same things in His covenant promise, so His will can be done on earth as it is in heaven. He died for all, so the commission is for the body to work together to reach every member of every tongue and tribe, with His love through people like you, as you do your part in His plan so all people have a chance to come before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white and washed in the blood of the Lamb into the Holy of Holies to commune with God. The next step is for them to be trained or discipled in His ways and for believers like yourself, to walk with other believers in His will and purpose. They need to know that you care and love them. What makes them a brother or sister is for us to adopt them as well as God adopting them. After all, how can we say we love God if we reject the body or members of the body and refuse to walk with them?
What say, “We can’t do everything or can only do as much as we can?” It is why we are given the promise that we can do all things through Christ, both head and body so we can accomplish His will. This is not about denominations, but the body working together in His ways and covenants to accomplish His will. You can be a part of all of this in prayer, support, but just as important is to inform other believers and churches to work together as one body to accomplish His will globally as that is pleasing to the Lord. We welcome and work with all who seek Him and His will.
When we all understand our individual purpose and gifts and all work together as one body we will be able to overcome all things by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony. We can end hunger, homelessness and a host of other problems if we are willing to work as one body, putting His will before our own. After all, that is what salvation is, putting His will before our own and learning to do things His way. WE have the ability through Him to pour out His Spirit, through each in the body, on all flesh as promised in Joel. We are dependant on Him and each other to accomplish the task and run the race that is set before us.
One good reason to do all of this is to work together to put an end to the work of the enemy. It is His covenant promise to us, that if we humble ourselves and seek Him and His will and turn from our ways of doing things, that He will hear our prayers and He will heal the land. Today, we need His healing globally for there to be a tomorrow here on earth. We do this all because it is His will but also it is for our children, for if we do not come together and work together as one body our children will suffer. They will have hope in part because of God and His promise but also because we took the time and effort to teach them to work as one body to accomplish His will globally so there can be peace on earth and good will to all men. Simply put, the future and our children’s future is in our hands by what we do or choose not to do. It is a condition of the heart, one way or the other.
Would it not be wonderful that you would be able to rejoice more in that moment because one of the people that were before the throne were there because you took adoption seriously?
You can use this program not only in the adoption process itself, but also as a tool to motivate and mobilize others with the challenge of providing a future for us and our children, for His will to be done, help to establish His ways for all believers, to represent His ways and covenants to all on earth and provide for a church-planting movement among every tribe on earth. It all starts with prayer and a willingness to work together as one body, being led by His Spirit. It is exciting to see lives change by the power of the blood of the Lamb and the very words of our testimony as we are all walking miracles. He gave us the raw tools and the keys to the kingdom, but will not force us to us them. We should use them for any hope of a future and sanity, besides His will in faith, but it is up to each that read this to work together. WE can in working together save lives. We do so because of His love for us, but also if we are truly of Him, we are responsible to God to reach all globally and demonstrate His love, ways, covenants and commandments to all on earth.
We can make a change, we can and have been given the power of God to make a difference by touching heaven and changing earth. We look forward to working with you to accomplish His will. Let's all join hands together, pray and step forth for this Great Commission of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Blessings on you as you proceed!
That all may hear and turn to Him!
In Christ
We are responsible…..
When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help,
We want our hand always to be there. For that we are responsible.We are responsible both to God and each other.
"Together we can make a change, we can make a difference!"
"
God gave us His Son, Spirit, Love, Direction, Purpose, Gifts, and free will. He gave us all the basic tools to either care for Him and others or care just for ourselves.
It is a choice either way, to either learn to work together to solve problems, but at the end, when it is all said and done, our true hearts will be exposed. We are given two things to do, love God and love our neighbor as ourselves.
