Pioneers</a>, shares today's message, 'Three Reasons to
Persevere'.&nbsp; Simon was the keynote speaker for ENGAGE, our
BridgeWorld mission themed weekend.</p>

<p>2 billion people have never heard of Jesus or His love for them.
Simon said "<em>It's not how you start that counts....</em>" and he
spoke of the three reasons Paul gives us to persevere:</p>

<ul>
<li>The contrast between our weakness and God's power</li>

<li>The contrast between the outer man and the inner man</li>

<li>The contrast between our present troubles and our future
Glory</li>
</ul>

<p><em>"....never give up, never give up, never give up, NEVER,
NEVER, NEVER</em>" Winston Churchill.</p>

<p>We are blessed to have Simon Longden, National Director of <a
href="http://www.pioneers.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=frontpage&amp;Itemid=100001">
Pioneers</a> close our ENGAGE mission conference weekend with the
message 'The Link Between Great People and Mission'.</p>

<p>"<em>If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice
can be too great for me to make for Him</em>". C T Studd, founder
of <a href="http://wec.com.au/">WEC</a> missions.</p>

<p>Never doubt what young people/Christians can do. We are reminded
of some young achievers from the Bible and history.</p>

<p>The greatest miracle is hearing the Word of God &amp; doing
something with what we hear.</p>

<p>The link between great people and mission has everything to do
with our capacity to point out who Jesus is to the world.</p>
