The Work of Missions (Acts 14:21-28)
One of our church families recently completed an adoption process. One of my daughters works as a social worker for the adoption agency through which the process was completed. In speaking to my daughter and witnessing the process undergone by this church family, I was sometimes amazed at the screening process involved in gauging whether a potential family is a suitable fit for a particular child. A great deal of very careful effort goes into selecting precisely the right family for each child. As I reflected on this process, I realised with some sadness that the local church frequently lacks a similar sort of carefulness when it comes to screening those it sends to the missionary field. In this passage we will observe several aspects of what we should expect of those who do the work of missions.
