Many of us in this day and age think that being a missionary is going to the other end of the world and reaching out to people who do not even speak our own language. Though our call is to go out to the nations many of us are part of a nation that is lost. Therefore we must start at home and look around to see what God puts in our hearts. If you feel that you are not called to go overseas then great, go visit your nextdoor neighbor and offer garden work or a meal.
If you feel called to go overseas and reach the unreached than praise God for putting that in your heart but remember the title missionary does not start once you get off that plane in the far off land. God has called us to reach out and what better way to go to the unreached nations than having the experience of working with the unreached in your own neighborhood.
My prayer today is that we will all start to make the world a better place but that we realize the world becoming a better place starts now with our everyday lives and that we do not need to go thousands of miles away to tell of the good news.
