There is a distinct person, purpose, and plan in the legacy our Lord and Hero left to those who love Him and who are privileged to carry out His mission in His physical absence. We go to all the nations, but we begin in Jerusalem. I often hear of imbalance where the focus is only on missions as it exists on foreign soil or an unhealthy emphasis in reaching your immediate context without any real concern for the world at large. Our responsibility to the world is not met by throwing a few dollars and offering up token interest. Such a response cannot silence our obligation to our immediate community either. We must become relational with our community and with our world through individual involvement and through corporate strength. Inside the Book of Acts there are three salient features. First, what were they to do; second, how would they do it; finally, where were they to go?
