TEA! is an English acronym made up of 3 Greek words "Ta Ethne Allelulia"! which mean in English "All Peoples Praise the LORD!" and since we have been "bought with a price" and we are not our own---Jesus purchased with His blood "All Peoples" from every tongue, tribe, and nation, I have coined "Bought'tea!" to mean the purchased people of God for His praise, the "Bought'tea!" being my name for the Body of Christ. With my creative/poetic license, you will see that I use 'tea! and Bought'tea! to mean the gospel, praise, the Body of Christ, and also I include in this picture (or shall I say pitcher, since we are pouring cupps of tea? and pitching tents?) those who already love and follow Jesus, and those who are waiting to hear the Good News of Great Joy for All People, those who will respond with faith and follow with us, Our Amazing King! I mostly refer to "Unreached" as "Purchased" and "Persecuted" as "Underground" --not to be confusing, but words and their meaning matter very much to me, and I have thought deep and wide about these terms, and consider it worth the effort to explain. Again, Unreached, I call Purchased---because I like to think of them as part of the Bought'tea! chosen by God from before the foundation of the earth was laid, a Purchased treasure awaiting discovery! They will rejoice to know their King when the Good News of Great Joy arrives in their awareness! The Persecuted I prefer to call Underground, to emphasize the hiddenness and secrecy in which they must live. This makes up so many more people who live beneath the radar --out of danger of persecution--and of course, includes those who are being persecuted, either through discovery, or because secrecy just wasn't an option. This Underground Bought'tea! lives a costly life.
TEA! Ta Ethne Alleluia! All Peoples Praise the LORD! This sums it all up! Let the nations be glad! The knowledge of the glory of the LORD will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
TEA! is an acronym in Greek and English for the Greek words "Ta Ethne Alleluia!" which is English means "All Peoples Praise the LORD!" Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters covers the sea." From Psalm 67 "Let the nations be glad and sing for joy....May the people praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you!" From Psalm 96 "Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD all the earth!" From Psalm 150 "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!"
TEA! is my way of saying and praying all of these Scriptures and more! Ta Ethne Alleluia! TEA! "All Peoples Praise the LORD!" Therefore.......I call the Body of Christ the "Bought'tea! of Christ" since TEA! is Ta Ethne Alleluia! All Peoples Praise the LORD! and since He BOUGHT peoples from every tongue, tribe, and nation (All Peoples) From Revelation 5 "You are worthy to take the scroll....with your blood you have purchased for GOD persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our GOD, and they will reign on the earth." From 1 Corinthians 6 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from GOD? You are not your own, you were BOUGHT at a price. Therefore honor GOD with your bodies." From 1 Corinthians 10 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of GOD." From Matthew 21, Mark 11, John 2 "Destroy this Temple and in 3 days I will raise it up......He was speaking of His Body....as it is written....Zeal for Thy house shall consume me.....Is it not written 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers......So the Bought'tea! of Christ is the purchased from all nations who will praise the LORD and live as a temple of the Holy Spirit, a house of prayer for all nations....glorifying GOD in everything! Ta Ethne Alleluia!
ALL PEOPLES: Every Tongue! Tribe! Nation! And Every Generation!
God has called me to "BACK the Bought'tea!" Back as a picture of what I do, through the gift of massage therapy, as a ministry to serve the Bought'tea! in Hot Springs, and as my vision for so long has been to BACK the ministry of missions.....with prayer and money and other tangible encouragement.
