MATT FARMER Good Morning! I’m Matt Farmer, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church in Meridian. It is humbling to think God would choose to use us to do His work here on this earth, but the Bible tells us we were created to do just that. We’ve been charged to make disciples of those we meet along this journey we call life. So often people tend to think that “ministry” is for the church staff and the pastor alone, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. True ministry is living out our faith each and every day. It’s denying ourselves and looking for ways we can love and serve others. Our mission as believers is to show the love of Jesus Christ to all those we come in contact with and to spread the gospel wherever God has placed us – be it at home, in the office, at school, or at the grocery store - God has created you and placed you at this point in history to be a beacon of light in a world that seems to be growing increasingly dark. The mission field is all around us; how we choose to interact with it is what makes the difference.
