Atik la defye legliz nan Amerik Latin yo pou yo pran responsablite pou voye misyonè nan lòt rejyon yo, menm jan misyonè vanyan yo te pote Levanjil la nan peyi yo a. Li mete aksan sou enpòtans pou travèse baryè kiltirèl pou pataje Levanjil la epi fè disip, li plede pou yon apwòch pi aktif pou akonpli Gran Komisyon an.
El artículo desafía a las iglesias en Latinoamérica a asumir la responsabilidad de enviar misioneros a otras regiones, así como misioneros valientes trajeron el Evangelio a sus tierras.

This devotional reminds us that every good gift comes from God. He is unchanging and faithful, unlike the fleeting things of this world. Our new life in Christ is the ultimate gift, making us “firstfruits” for His glory.
Atik sa a ap pale sou sa sa vle di lè yon moun “santre sou Kris la”. Otè a eksplike kijan Ansyen Testaman an prepare chemen pou Jezi vini, epi Nouvo Testaman an montre Jezi se pèsonaj prensipal la nan plan Bondye. Tout bagay kreye pa mwayen Jezi e pou Jezi, epi Li menm se sant tout pwomès Bondye yo. Lè sa a, pou yon moun santre sou Kris la, sa vle di l rekonèt Kris la se sant Bib la, epi fè Kris la sant lavi li tou.
Este artículo explora el equilibrio bíblico entre la fe y la acción al apoyar las misiones. A partir de la colaboración de Pablo con la iglesia de Filipos, enfatiza la importancia de la oración y la ofrenda, argumentando en contra de una visión simplista de confiar en Dios para la provisión. Destaca los desafíos del ministerio bivocacional y la necesidad de que los misioneros comuniquen las necesidades financieras, animando en última instancia a los creyentes a abrazar tanto la confianza en la provisión de Dios como la participación activa en el apoyo a las misiones.
