Missionary of the Year
Greetings
This time of year always bring joy as we join in an occasion that celebrates
mission ministry within the New York City District Women’s Home and
Overseas Missionary Society. Today our celebration spotlights our
“Missionary of the Year” from among the 18 churches that make up the
Mother District of Zion Methodism.
What is so wonderful about these honorees is that they are chosen from
among their peers as that person who best emulates the calling of a missionary
– to teach, bring healing, and win souls to Jesus Christ our Messiah, Lord and
Savior. We celebrate the ripe and flowing fruit produced by the faithful and
obedient hearts and hands yielded to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-
20): Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So as we gather to salute our “Missionary of the Year” Honorees who thought
it not robbery to stand up, look up and hook up with God the Faithful Creator
to spread His special message of love and demonstrate His benevolence to
others through good acts of loving kindness that makes the world take notice
that there is something unique and rewarding in today’s Honorees.
We are so glad to have you as our special guest to honor those to whom honor
is due. Let this occasion of tribute, fashion and fellowship provide lasting and
beautiful memories as you spend time with the Women’s Home and Overseas
Missionary Society!
