Volleyball for Missions
Hmm… somehow I have neglected my blog for quite a while. So much has happened in the past month or two. There was the Volleyball Tournament back in April, where the church’s college ministry played volleyball to fundraise for short term missions. I was on team “Sowing Machine”, because we want to sow the Word of God, which is the Gospel that is proclaimed. Just thinking about all the teams that are going to all these different countries really sets my mind on what the most important thing is, preaching God’s words. It really brings me joy to know that people are reached by the good news in these foreign countries and missionaries, some of whom I know well, are encouraged. Yet, sometimes I dwell too much on the fact that I am not going on a missions team this year and forget the reality that the missions field is not limited to some far off country, but is wherever I am right now. That anti-social classmate, that career-driven friend, that strange next door neighbor, that stranger sitting next to me on the train; these are all people in my missions field. Do I really care about them enough that I would share with them the good news that promises eternal life, of which I am a believer? Yes, it is my desire to see them saved, through which the name of Christ is honored.
