Speaker: Rev. Dr. Jonathan Bare
We tend to think of mission work as only being something “over there,” something done in a far-away place. Today we look at the work being done in foreign mission fields and support it with our prayers and offerings. However, something is off if we allow our appreciation for “over there” mission work to take our eyes off the mission that is right before us. In our various callings—parent or grandparent or sibling, friend or neighbor or coworker—God will provide one opportunity after another to serve as the witnesses Jesus has made us to be. So, let us continue to pray for and support “over there” mission work. Let us rejoice in gospel of peace and forgiveness in Christ that gives us mission here and around the world. We work in the mission field and pray for God to bless others working in the harvest.
