In August, there is a small group from our church who are traveling to Poland to be short-term missionaries for 11 days. A young man from our church is a missionary there. In his ten years in Poland, John met and married a Polish girl. They now have two young sons.
Our congregation supports their work; now it is our opportunity to do more than send them our prayers and our dollars.
We have been told by another missionary couple that there is a "must read book" for those of us traveling next summer. It is titled "The Great Omission" by Steve Saint. I know nothing about the book or the author except to know that his father was martyred in Ecuador in 1956.
One of the quotes from Saint's book: "The Great Commission is not a spectator sport. No Believer should be sitting in the stands and watching."
I ordered the book. Each of us on our team are planning to read it.
Are we "Believers"? "Spectators"? Or are we in the "Trenches"?
