SERVANTS’ MISSIONARY BOAT
Being a servant at MIBA and rowing the missionary boat changes your life. Every mission is different, and in each one, there are unforgettable experiences that stir up many emotions. Those emotions turn into tears that you can’t help but let roll down your cheeks. Your heart aches and feels heavy when you see so much need, and when you realize that, within those people, there is so much innocence in the world out there.
Every servant feels the call to be part of MIBA, as one body, uniting with different ministries and nations. Being a servant at MIBA means you are called—even if you are not from the same church or ministry—to sing the song of His love, the hymn of His mercy, and the hymn of His justice. The Holy Spirit manifests His love among us, and the unity within the team—“𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗢𝗦 𝗠𝗜𝗕𝗔”—is filled with the power of God.
God guides each servant along the way and sends them to the people He assigns to each missionary boat. He grants them the grace to be welcomed in every nation and gives them the courage to carry out the mission entrusted to them.
Each servant experiences the manifestation of God’s presence, and when invoking the Holy Spirit, always sees God’s faithfulness.
God chooses men and women to board each mission boat with us. Each servant represents an oar, helping to row toward God’s purpose so we may reach our destination and fulfill God’s mission.
We can all be inspired by the miracle that Jesus performs in the story of each mission boat. “Every mission offers everyone the opportunity to experience God’s love when we share what we have with those in need.”
Working together teaches us so much. It’s incredible how things can change when we have the privilege of sharing our ministry work, purposes, callings, plans, talents, and passion with people who are working for the same Kingdom of God, as one Body in Jesus Christ.
In every mission, we are UNITED FOR THE GOSPEL. It is wonderful to see various ministries come together to bring the gospel to the nations. Together, we can make a huge difference in spreading God’s love and truth throughout the world.
The collaboration of servants is a powerful demonstration of unity in the shared mission of spreading the message of hope and redemption found in the Christian gospel.
The verse cited, Matthew 28:19–20, is known as the Great Commission. Jesus commissioned them to go out and make disciples of all nations—that is, to invite people from different cultures and places to learn about and follow His teachings.
This collaboration among servants and ministries amplifies the impact of the message, since, by working together, we can combine resources, skills, and knowledge to reach more people. Furthermore, unity among ministries is a powerful demonstration of Christ’s love and peace in action.
United, we can tackle obstacles and challenges more effectively. Together, we can adapt to different cultures, languages, and contexts, allowing us to connect with people from diverse communities and share the message of hope and salvation.
This partnership can also inspire others to join the cause, forming a network of collaborators who work together to bring Christ’s message to places where it has not yet been heard. Ultimately, this joint effort is about transforming lives and communities through God’s love and grace.
I encourage you to be part of every missionary boat, so that we may bring the gospel to the nations in a united and loving way. Every servant says “yes” to 𝗗𝗜𝗢𝗦 through 𝗠𝗜𝗕𝗔 and is willing to give their very best to achieve what is eternal in every mission.
As servants in MIBA, in unity, we inspire others to be ministers of unity so that we may all shine in Jesus Christ. We know that none of this is possible without God’s presence and the help of every servant and ministry.
Make the decision today to become a MIBA servant and row each missionary boat alongside us to its final destination. Every mission is rowed by faith along a sacrificial and unknown path—one designed by God—that yields fruitful and eternal results. Written by: Karla Ruiz
