Jesus modeled a life of mercy and compassion, and as we follow His example, the lives we touch are touched by God and our lives are filled with purpose and power. Mission work isn't as frightening as some may think, and you won't need to pack your suitcase and update your passport to get started. There's a place nearby to use your talents for to reach God's world.
"We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10).
