A Familiar Question

Really interesting post on Carl Medearis’ blog about what a missionary is.  Such a familiar conversation (not with our children, of course).  Highlight:

I asked her what she thought we were doing while in Lebanon. Her answer was as shocking as it was insightful.  ”We were just living in Lebanon as regular people loving others in Jesus’ name. All our friends were Lebanese. “Missionaries” don’t do that. They don’t hang out with the local people as much as we did. They do projects.”

Whether Carl was a “missionary” or not, I want to be what he was.  Click here for the full post.
