If you were unable to attend the recent Turner Baptist on Mission Celebration, you truly missed a blessing. It was more than just a time for us to gather; it was a powerful reminder of what it means to live a life committed to Christ and His mission.

While it was encouraging to hear about the different ministries and mission fields represented, I hope everyone who attended came away with something deeper than just information. What stood out most was not simply what these missionaries are doing, but who they are. They are men and women who have chosen to make missions a lifelong commitment, not just a short-term project.

One of the most inspiring parts of the celebration was hearing how some of these missionaries did not begin their mission work early in life. Some were called later, after careers, families, and years of faithful service in their local churches. Their stories reminded us that God is never finished with us. As Philippians 1:6 reminds us, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

We were reminded that there is no age limit on obedience. You are never too young to be a bold witness for Christ, and you are never too old to answer His call. Whether through going, giving, praying, teaching, encouraging, or serving right where we are, every believer has a role in God’s mission. Scripture tells us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9).

The celebration challenged us to examine our own lives. Are we viewing missions as something “others” do, or are we living every day as ambassadors for Christ? The speakers made it clear that following Jesus is not about convenience; it is about commitment. As Paul writes, “We are ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

My prayer is that this event was not just a good memory, but a turning point for many of us. May it inspire us to live with greater purpose, deeper faith, and a renewed passion to share Christ wherever He leads.
