It certainly is good to be back from my honeymoon. For those of you who didn’t know, I recently traveled to Rome with Hannah to celebrate our marriage. While I was there I thought of the things we have going on this summer and I was really excited to get back here (this is not to say that I was unhappy with Rome by any right). But just the thought of being able to get back here and do some great work was something that I looked forward to.

It was while in Rome that I saw dozens of different nationalities. At one point, I was surrounded by people from all over: a country from each continent sans Antarctica, and at least 12 different languages. It was while hearing these languages spoken that I thought of the vastness of the world, and the equal vastness of the need for mission work. The one thing that I took from looking at a group of Estonians following their flag (Don’t know what the Estonian flag looks like? Picture the Dutch flag except with white, light blue, and black.) was that we don’t have to go to some country in the middle of the North Sea to do mission work.

We are living in a mission field as I write, and it is our responsibility, as so deftly pointed out by Dick Sztanyo this past Wednesday, to teach and minister to those who have not followed the Good News.

Good luck in your ministries this week,
