Across the Street and Around the World

The prayer from yesterday reminds us that the gospel is for those that are near and those that are far off. It also prompted us to recall that all those persons were created by God of one blood. Our call is to share the whole gospel with the whole world.

The Mennonites speak of sharing the message of Christ with those that are across the street and around the world. Missional Baptists speak of going "glocal." As our church seeks to be the presence of Christ in our world we recognize that our world begins on 7th street and travels through the nations of the world. What do Trinidad, Tuxedo, and Toomsuba have in common? They are in our world -the world the Christ suffered to save. Let's dream of ways to go glocal with the gospel. Why not start with your circle of influence and move on from there.
