Most people think the only of missions as going overseas, or going on an extended stay to some remote African village. But missions opportunities exist in our own backyard. As a church we believe that we are to be a light to the city, to shine forth His glory and push back the darkness here in Lubbock. This can be a number of things, whether it is mentoring at a school, or serving lunch to the less fortunate, or a neighborhood block party. The reality is that mission opportunities exist all around us, and this doesn't mean you even have to do it through a "Christian" organization, rather be a Christian wherever the Lord allows you to minister and through your life and your words look for opportunities to spread the love of Christ to a city that needs Him, not more religion.
May we as a church body be in our city, may we love it, pray for it, and serve it, so that that the glory of God shines through the darkness and the religious guise that has bound this place. Look for opportunities, keep your eyes and ears attentive and then when the Lord shows you, be quick to move.
LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE
