Mission and Ministry

This Thursday the topic of discussion at the Mission and Ministry Forum is the Arab-Israeli conflict. This concern is frequently on our TVs and daily papers. We also see the conflict portrayed in movies, but after all of this attention do we understand what is happening and who all is involved? We know there are people involved, we pray for them frequently, and hope that peace is in their future. 

But, is that enough? Do we know what to hope for and what to pray for? Paul often advocates that members of his Christian communities grow in insight and knowledge. In other words love your neighbor with your eyes open. Thursday's Mission and Ministry Forum is a chance to open our eyes a little wider and learn about the people we hold in our hearts.
