The best possible missionary for your community is YOU!
     -You already understand and are immersed in the culture of your community.
     -You have connections, relationships, and trust with the people in your community.
     -You have resources and leadership (a base of support) within your congregation that can
     address the unique issues and challenges in your community.

God has placed you in your context for such a time as this! Pray this week about seeing your community through "missionary eyes". Why has God placed you in your context of ministry? Who is God calling you to reach? What has God given to you (resources, relationships, talents, and gifts) that specifically align with the needs in your community?

Take some time this week to think creatively and pray about your role as a missionary in your context.

Always praying for you,
Brian (a fellow missionary in the field)
