How Far Do We Reach?

Question: Should we reach out to Jerusalem? Or Samaria? Or the uttermost parts of the earth?

Answer: Yes.

I love these quotes from David Livermore: "Don't go running overseas to do something you aren't already doing in your own neighborhood." AND "Short-term missions is just another opportunity for us to live out what we need to be doing 24/7 wherever we are." (from Serving with Eyes Wide Open, page 173)

We are blessed to be part of a missions-minded church. To me that means we are part of an obey the Great Commandment & Great Commission church. We serve at home - we serve the region - we serve the globe.

My good friend and phenomenal photographer Emmanuel captured this shot of Carol and me this afternoon while we were reflecting on our recent time in Zambia. This Sunday at our home Camden Wesleyan Church (Camden, NY) we will share highlights of our experience with God's people and neighbors in need on the other side of the world.
