Christ says,
"Go into all the world
and proclaim the good news
to the whole creation."
Mark 16:15
"How?" I asked a group recently. "How can you personally go into all the world and proclaim the good news to all the whole creation?"
Personally, you can't. But here's the key. You're not alone. You're one part of a huge body.
What you and I are called to do is our part ...
- Personally, I / we can positively influence the people in our little corner of creation.
- Personally, I / we need to be a little more bold, looking for even deeper hungers around us ... including opportunities to travel.
- Personally, I / we should support the missionaries in our midst -- the ones who are personally called to go a little further into God's creation.
- Personally, I / we are called to give generously. Superficial giving meets the basic needs of the basic church inadequately. Giving as generous as God's generosity to us, focuses the church beyond the local and powerfully into all creation.
When Christ says, "Go!" He gives us personally the tools to make a positive impact on all creation.
In Christ's Love,

a boy in Mozambique this week
(that's one way we're helping,
how about you?)
