![MISSION
ALL followers of JESUS are MISSIONARIES and ALL of LIFE is our MISSION FIELD.
Take some time to visit the links below. We believe you will be inspired as you see how God is using people to sacrificially give in order that others may live!
We refuse to be those who say that the need is too great! We refuse to be those who turn a blind eye to the “least of these.” We refuse to be those who simply pursue “The American Dream.” Because it simply is not enough!
Instead, we choose to be those who will DO SOMETHING rather than NOTHING! We choose to embrace and love a broken world. We choose to die a little or a lot every day, so that others may live!
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD [OCTOBER 11 - NOVEMBER 8]
[PeopleLovingNashville]
Weekly ministry feeding the homeless of Nashville. Just normal people like you & me helping to serve 150 to 180 meals a week and showing the love of Jesus.
We stumbled across this group on Facebook. If you have a chance to visit or serve with them, we’d love to hear about it.

MISSIONARIES SUPPORTED BY GREEN HILLS CHURCH
Some of our Favorite Scriptures on MISSION:
Isaiah 58:6-10
6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
Micah 6:8
6 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Matthew 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Mark 8:24-38
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
John 12:24-26
24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
2 Corinthians 4:10-12
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Hebrews 13:5
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
James 1:27
27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.](mission_files/shapeimage_1.png)
