Missionaries

Last night at church we were going through Phil 2:17-30 and our Pastor was talking about what it means to be a missionary and asking us what our mission field is. My immediate response was Owen and Erik but I soon thought about my real, actual neighbors the ones who live just to the sides of me and the ones whose backyards I look into because in Colorado people don't have real fences. I am praying for God to show me real ways that I can extend Christ and His love to them. Nate, our pastor, gave an analogy I guess last night and it really impacted me. He said he had gone to a coffee shop that week to study and it was full of people. He went on to say that if he had been somewhere else in the world like Africa or China, he would see those people as lost souls, those he came to minister too. What makes the people he was with in Starbucks so different? Nothing. Just something to stir you up.
