On a mission...

Last week a group of UGA students including myself gathered together in a student's home for worship and teaching. A young couple came to speak to us about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. We were amazed and astounded at the wisdom they brought to the table. After talking, we discovered that they were on a mission trip to Athens. 

That sounded a little bit strange. A mission trip to Athens?

Many people are surprised to hear that China sends missionaries to America. "Why do they do that? We're a 'Christian' nation." Well nowadays I'm not sure I or anyone else for that matter could call us that. As much as we would hate to admit that we need missionaries here as much or more than other countries throughout the world, it is true. The United States and Athens is as lost and in need of a Savior as any other city in any other country. It's time to lay down our pride. Just because we have a tradition of Christianity doesn't mean we now follow the truths of Christ. 

Missionaries, we welcome you.
