Serve where?

"God wants to use you and speak through you. He will lead you in the way and open the doors for you. You are to serve where you are. Some really good people are waiting, expecting in some way that they will be called out in service for the Master. Instead of that we are to serve where we are; to find the souls that are about us, to get hold of them with the gospel which possesses us, and bring them to Christ."

That is soooo true. We want to 'glamourize" everything .. even missions. AS if you can serve where you are at, but must go to the depths of Africa in order to be a missionary!

If you can share the gospel where you are at, How can you possibly share it in a different culture?

I totally agree.

It would even be harder trying to witness in a second unfamiliar language.

Another thought...

America needs all the missionaries we can get as it is.

Thank you for your comments! :)
