The Mission Field

My church in Aggieland (Christ United Methodist Church) has this sign by every exit, reminding us that we're on the mission field 24/7! We don't always have to go to another state or foreign country to do mission work (though it is encouraged); God has plenty of work for us to do right where we are - we just have to be on the lookout and be willing to be used!

Wake up every day and ask God to USE you and SHOW you who needs to be reached! Use the gifts He has given you to make a difference in the lives of others where you are. On a side note, it's pretty cool how the telephone pole makes a cross behind the sign, so as we're being reminded of the Great Commission, we're also being reminded of the cross!

 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
