You don't have to leave America to be a missionary!

We have a great opportunity to reach people groups without ever going to the mission field. Why? Because thousands are coming to America. I meet people all the time from all over the world. Because I have gone to live in another country and have experienced not knowing the customs and language of that country, I have a heart for people who have come here from other countries. Sunday I preached at Providence Baptist church in Providence RI. They have a large number of people from Liberia. Pastor Sokoll has even gone to Liberia and helped build a church there.

There are opportunities all around us to reach people from other countries. I have often thought: "do our churches reflect the people groups we see at Walmart?" Are we keeping to ourselves and trying to ignore the masses that are coming to our shores or are we actively seeking out people who are coming here from all over the world. Do we try to learn their language? Could we offer free English classes? Could we try to make them feel comfortable in our churches? You can be a foreign missionary today and don't even have to get on a plane!
