The Evangelism Disciples’ Tears – Church Officers Who Saw the Future Church
Romans 16:23 │ Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you.

In this age, the Gospel is slowly disappearing. At a time like this, God will use those who shed tears and have grief-stricken hearts for the Gospel as well as those who know the reason for staking their lives. For such people, not only will they receive answers to prayer, the works of the fulfillment of the Word that was spoken to Moses will take place as well. Then, what kind of church officer must you prepare to become?
1. Church Officers Who Changed the System
Church officers must be within the system of “establishing the Gospel.” Even if their power and faith is like a small mustard seed, by being within the stream of the covenant, that small seed will grow into an enormous “tree” that does the life movement. That’s why church officers, no matter how unimportant their words may seem, must make certain to speak words that are beneficial to the Gospel. In addition, they mustn’t go to places(condition) that hinder the Gospel and Word fulfillment.
2. Church Officers Who Changed the Concept and Content
The Jewish people and Pharisees held onto conceptscustoms that were bound for failure. This led to the result of Jesus being crucified on the cross. However, the church officers of Matthew 28 enjoyed the authority of Heaven and earth and held onto the covenant of becoming witnesses to the ends of the age. In addition, the figures of Acts 2 were the hidden church officers from the fifteen nations who protected the church to the very end and gave offerings to establish “only Gospel.”
Church officers must hold onto the covenant of the future church. That’s why, they must form a team that sheds the same tears to establish the Gospel within that covenant. Starting today, they must earnestly pray for churches in Korea, churches throughout the world, and churches that are dependent.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to meet a team that sheds the same tears; possesses the covenant to save the future church; and enjoys the blessing of offerings. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. How Can a Cup of Coffee Save the Future Church?
On average, adults around the world drink 132 cups of coffee a year. In Korea, the average is 353 cups. By age bracket, those in their 20s drink 6.7 cups; 30s drink 9.6 cups; 40s drink 10.2 cups; and 50s drink 9.3 cups a week. The average price spent on a cup of coffee is $5 per day which adds up to about $150 per month.
The amount spent on of a single cup of coffee seems trivial, but once accumulated, it becomes a great sum.
How about refraining from buying a cup of coffee and instead, giving the amount you would’ve spent as offering?
The price of a single cup of coffee can save the future church.
