Written by Pastor Jack Wellman15 Great Quotes about Christian Missions
Missions – is that something that only some people do, when their church sends them to another country to talk about Jesus? True, those people are missionaries – but so are those of us who stay at home! Your own country, your own neighborhood, sometimes your own family could be your mission field. Everywhere we go, we should be representing Jesus.

We cannot all go to the foreign field. We must express our interest in those who have not had our opportunities by our gifts. Much of the service we render in our own land must be rendered in the same way. But when that is said, the fact still remains that there is nothing that will take the place of our hand-to-hand dealing with those who need us. We cannot perform all our charities by proxy. We must come in personal contact with those whom we would help.
