Some churches could be strictly adhering to the traditional, costly model of training and sending missionaries overseas, while overlooking the Middle Eastern community in their own backyard. There is no contradiction in doing both, but unfortunately many churches are likely to be neglecting the Arabs and other Middle Easterners right around the corner. It looks like God has brought the mission field to us! The question is, “How do we reach the Middle Easterners here in the US with the gospel?”

John 13:10, “He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.” From this verse we learn that it is possible to have Jesus humbly clean you, and yet it still be your choice to receive cleaning. This is the story of Judas Iscariot.

The discipler is the elder brother/sister that the disciple can personally know, follow, and emulate.

Everywhere we go, we are painting a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ’s love relationship with his church for everyone to see. If we are serious about reaching unbelievers with the gospel, and the picture we are painting for them with our marriages is a mess, then how will they understand the love relationship that Christ desires to have with them in their lives?
