“Come over to Macedonia and help us.” St. Paul had a vision that there were needs in Europe (Macedonia was part of Greece) that the Gospel should address. We are told that he “sought at once” to extend his ministry there. We don’t need visions for us to know that there are areas in oru world that need the gospel too. We need to bring the gospel of peace and reconciliation into those areas of violence throughout the world and in our own cities and in our families. We need to bring the gospel of compassion to those immigrants who are seeking a safe place to raise their families. We need to bring the gospel to young people who have been turned off by organized religion but who are still hungering for some spiritual foundation. We need to bring the gospel into a society that judges people by their race or ethnicity instead of seeing every person’s inherent dignity as a child of God.
