Whether you believe you are going to a country where Christianity Is strictly prohibited or whether you are going to a country where Christians are known, but maybe the numbers aren’t where they need to be to carry God’s word, there is a whole spectrum of views and opinions in the middle. You don’t have to go far to do mission work, either.
When you wonder what God is up to…
I don’t even know where to turn my attention. It seems everywhere I look, something is broken. Wars in countries, floods, cancer. Israel is shooting missiles everywhere – everyone is shooting missiles at it. America is arrogant in her power. We are being washed away with floods.
