“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NIV)
Why should I join Jesus in mission with my “Samaritans?”
Jesus ________________ it.
So he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John 4:3-5 (NLT)
My soul _____________ it.
As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them. So they went on to another village.
Luke 9:51-56 (NLT)
Together with my “Samaritans,” we ______________________ it.
“Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him.”
The Great Commission of Jesus to his followers to “go” is found in the four Gospels (biographies of Jesus) and the Book of Acts (the biography of the Holy Spirit at work through the first followers of Jesus). These were Jesus’ last words. It was an invitation and a command to join Jesus in being everyday missionaries. In this message series, we’ll look at the Great Commission found in Acts: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NIV
Patti Nemazie came to know Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior through the ministries of Grace Church. Receiving a free paperback Bible as a first time visitor, Patti began reading it and was captured and transformed by the grace of God from a life of no purpose or passion into a fully devoted disciple of Christ to the glory of God.
In 2004, on fire and full of passion, God called Patti into ministry after Hurricane Charley and Hurricane Katrina devastated Southwest Florida. She began doing disaster relief in our community. This experience stirred in Patti her spiritual gifts of evangelism and faith.
In 2007, she was hired on staff as the Director of Missions at the Cape Coral campus of Grace Church. Her job title was changed to Director of Reach and Send Ministries in 2009. Through team based ministry she has led close to 75 short term mission teams to 5 continents watching God use these experiences to transform the lives of the team members and the Grace Church missionaries served. Locally, she led teams of amazing volunteers that led over 20 ministries and sent out more than 250 people monthly to serve outside the walls of the church. In January of 2016 Patti and family moved to Sarasota Florida to plant the 5th campus of Grace Church.
In addition Patti has served as a Chaplain with the Billy Graham’s Rapid Response Team, Certified Temperament Therapist, Crisis counselor and a Supreme Court of Florida County Mediator with a background in nursing.
Originally from Long Island, New York and living in Southwest Florida for the past 22 years, she is married to her high school sweetheart Steve, has two adult children Robbie and Brianna, an amazing daughter in law Kayla and 7 precious grandchildren.
