What if we in the American Church, when doing foreign missions . . .
Instead of living in houses like this and building houses like this
We lived in houses like this and built houses like this?
What effect would that have on the Gospel? Would our love for the Church abroad be better demonstrated? Would the world view Americans and American Christianity in a different light? We likely will never know.
This has often burdened me also. We are so quick to build luxury homes in America, contribute to building what we would consider slums in foreign countries and are still satisfied with the "mission work" we have done for God. Definitely something to think about…
