Today, the emphasis is increasingly on the development of health care, education and assisting with local initiatives. It is aimed at improving quality of life. These efforts are done more and more in a spirit of cooperation where the role of our region of the church is viewed as a supporting rather than a directing role. Interestingly, we have material resources to share while the churches with which we work in developing nations often have vitality and fresh perspectives of faith to share with us. We are reminded that mission is never in one direction alone.
Mission is a partnership.
This reprocity where those who have received become in turn the givers seems to be a pattern in the life of the Church. We are all missionaries and our mission is to share all that we have and are for the sake of Christ, with one another and with the world. That has been the mission from the beginning and He keeps calling us back to that vision and that truth. To St. Andrew's Home page . To Sermon Archive .
