You don’t have to go overseas to be a missionary. I used to think you had to be older, single and wear your hair in a bun to qualify as a missionary. I’ve learned a lot. You don’t need a degree in missions to be qualified to love people. You just go into your world and do your best to make a difference. If Christians took a more active role in reaching people, no matter what their color, that would take care of a lot of our social problems.
But, what is church for? We are the hands and feet of Christ. We need to do what Christ would do. If people are hungry, feed them. If they are lonely, talk to them. If they are discouraged, encourage them. Do it by whatever means you can. If you can bake, take them some banana bread. Do whatever you can to make a difference in someone’s life; one life at a time, right here at home. It will also make you feel better.
