Reflect
Put yourself in this passage. As you read it over a couple of times, pay attention to which of the six major characters in the story, besides Jesus, (Lazarus, Martha, Mary, Judas, the Jews, and the Chief Priests), you are drawn to or most identify with. What is it about them that you identify with?
Now think about your own walk with Jesus today. If Jesus were to be in your house what would someone write about you and your relationship to and interaction with Jesus?
Would they see someone who is curious about Jesus but maybe just as curious about the dead man Lazarus who had been brought back to life, as the Jews were? Would they see a person that is frustrated or disillusioned with Jesus like Judas and the Chief Priests were? Or would they see someone who knows Jesus personally and is enjoying His company in their life?

Missions Fest Alberta (MFA) is all about Jesus Christ and His passion for the lost. Prayer is the most important part of this ministry. MFA has played an important role in bringing life-changing experiences to many people, altering the direction of their lives and helping them to become Kingdom-minded as they learn where God would have them get involved in the Great Commission.

Activities include: Dynamic keynote speakers; Exhibit Hall: ministries ranging from local missions to provincial and national outreaches, international relief organizations, training schools, camps and support organizations, also the Prayer Area and the Missions Search Centre; MFA luncheon; seminars; general assemblies; children’s ministries; youth and young adult and much more. Pray for MFA as we seek direction for each step for the upcoming year.
