It is amazing to hear the sheer numbers of the different groups of people in other countries. It makes me and I know others so much more aware that our mission does not just lay abroad in a foreign country but our mission, and that foreign country is right outside our doorsteps, in our neighborhoods, in our schools, and in our community. Our mindset does not lend itself towards this type of thinking it is something we must begin to train ourselves to think that we can make an impact in our daily life with the ones around us that is literally making an impact on the world, because of where everyone is from, and forget the rationale that missions only happens once a year on a church mission trip.

@ Elizabeth_B:
Elizabeth,
I was also amazed at the staggering numbers of people on the move and how they were being displaced all over the world. And I do agree with you,the training is necessary for us to know how to properly spread the good news of our brothers and sisters on the move. Because without proper training our efforts might be received as an offensive gesture instead of good news.

I was amazed at the number of people on the move, and regardless of their religious affilliation or ethnic background, when these people move into our areas, we should ensure that their spirital need are met.
