Preparing the Church for the Harvest

Today we visit with Jeff & Alesa Miller, US MIssionaries with the Assemblies of God. They work in the mission of Church Mobilization connecting churches in need with those who can meet those needs.

Jeff & Alesa Miller

Jeff & Alesa have known each other for 43 years and will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in June 2023. They pastored for over 30 years before going into their current ministry. The couple have planted churches and served in all sizes of ministries, from tiny churches to mega churches.

Church Mobilization

Jeff & Alesa serve as US Missionaries with the Assemblies of God in the Church Mobilization Department. They work with both the Kansas & Oklahoma Assemblies of God Districts to assist them with projects that the churches/ministries in those districts might have.

​They travel, meeting with Pastors, Churches and District Leaders sharing the mission of Church Mobilization.

Church Mobilization covers three aspects: RV volunteers, Church Teams, and Church Development.

We simply connect ministries with needs with people that can meet those needs from clerical to construction, While working on projects ourselves as well.

Passion

Through the program Jeff and Alesa are passionate about helping local churches be as strong as they can be. They strive to make connections, from Clerical to Construction, and focus on mobilizing the church for ministry.

Some of the connections they have made include: mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, beauticians, dentists, creative designers, website developers, worship leaders, piano players, tech teams, and much more.

They believe in taking the hand of someone a little ahead in your journey and someone a little farther behind you and marching together. This is an example of mentoring at its finest.

Every need that a church as we believe is already inside the church walls, it just may be the church down the street or across the state. - Alesa Miller

Rise up Soldiers!

Churches are better together. It is time to rise up and be a team of soldiers.

When we think of the harvest, we think, “We’ve gotta have workers”. Harvest time is when we have to work the hardest. Farmers work the hardest when it is time to harvest the crop. They have a limited time to bring in the harvest and in farming communities you can see neighbors and communities working together to aid in the harvest.

We can learn a lot from this example. It is time to set aside our differences and come together for the good of the Kingdom! How can you step up to use your giftings in a way to help build the Kingdom?

In episode 003, I talk about how churches in surrounding communities worked together in unity.We are all striving to reach the same destination. We can all benefit from a little help along the journey!

If we are going to see the harvest, we have to have a place to plant the harvest first with fertile soil. We need volunteers to help aid churches in being the best they can be in their neighborhood. If they need a bathroom remodeled, others can step up to help in the construction, painting, and cleaning. While this is happening there may be other members helping with office work or even outreach or children’s ministry.

Are you willing to pay the price to see one person get to know Jesus?

Is God Calling You?

Is God nudging you to step out and do something today?

Don’t wait for a net to catch you. Trust that God will open the doors that you need Him to.

What is the Holy Spirit prompting you to do? He is asking you” Do you trust me?”
