Fred Breedlove Missions of Hope

One of my great loves, other than that for my God and family, is to share my spiritual gifts with people in need around the world. One of the ways that I do this is to participate in short term Christian missions as a supporter, leader, and as a volunteer. Sometimes I do this with a church, a relief organization, or as an individual.

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?" James 2:14

I know that our salvation is given by the grace of God and through our belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Savior, rather than by our works, but we are also encouraged to demonstrate our faith by our good deeds. We are also encouraged to "look after orphans and widows" (James 1:27), and that is something that I take to heart. I struggle, like everyone else, but I find that when I am actively involved with Christian missions, I am able to stay more focused on God and on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I will be using this blog to point to different short term missions work that I have been involved in without going into great detail in this particular blog. The links listed below will lead you to my Sri Lanka missions blog, Yahoo groups, and other blogs, groups, etc about my "Missions of Hope".
