You don’t have to be in another country to do missions. I just went to a conference on missions and it drove me absolutely nuts to hear speakers talk about it is this thing that somehow is in the future; it is this thing that happens in another country; it is this thing somehow only the select few can take part in. It bothered me.
I heard speakers say things like “one day you’re gonna know….” or “when you experience the call.” They try to be inspiring, but there’s nothing more uninspiring that what they “can one day do in the future.” Lame.
When it was my turn to speak to students – I asked if they all had Facebook. Some of them had hundreds and hundreds of friends. I told them that they didn’t have to wait till they were out of high school or out of the country. Every time they logged onto Facebook, they entered into their mission field. They didn’t have to wait to be called – they’re already called. They didn’t have to go anywhere because the mission field came to them – every notification, every update can be a missions opportunity.
What do you think?
