Mission South Irving

This is from First Irving Website about MSI:

WHAT IS MISSION SOUTH IRVING or MSI?
MSI is a brand new idea at First Irving, and hopefully, a new movement and expression of faith for us as a faith family. MSI is a church-wide effort of First Irving to impact our city with the Gospel of Jesus, for the Glory of Jesus. We will be focusing an entire week of ‘missions’ in the area right around our church. The Irving Missionaries who sign up for the entire week will be sleeping in the church, eating meals together, praying together, sharing the gospel, helping the poor, giving away Bibles, serving our community, cleaning local parks, helping widows and single mothers, all in an effort to make Jesus the most famous name in South Irving.

WHY MSI?
God told Jeremiah in Jer 29:7, “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” We believe South Irving should be a better place, because First Irving is there. There are really 2 reasons for MSI. First, we want to serve our city in a very tangible way by serving the community and needy people within the community in the name of Jesus. Second, we want to empower the people of the First Irving Family to live a life of constant mission. We want to encourage each of us to grasp our responsibility to share the gospel with joy and love. This starts in our city.

WHEN IS MSI?
The formal aspect of MSI will be March 13 – 19, 2011. This is spring break for all the local schools, so we hope to get First Irving students involved, and also share the gospel with local kids who are on a break from school.

WHO CAN BE INVOLVED?
Anyone and everyone. There is no age limit to MSI. If you want to serve and share the gospel, we would love to have you.

You can also be involved by hosting an open house the during the week of MSI! For ideas and details CLICK HERE for the Word Document.
