Matthew 22.37-39 - Double Duty

Matthew 22.37-39 - Double Duty

A recent visitor summarized God’s mission to International Students with two succinct ideas – share what only you can give, and what they can find anywhere. Only you can sit next to that visitor, care for their particular needs, ask about their family, invite them into your home, and help them settle in practical ways. Yet our loving concern should point them to the Savior of the World who reigns globally. Our aim is not to forever enlist them into BICF, bind them to our form of worship, or demand their adherence to our ministry styles. Rather, our prayer is for them to eternally love and serve the Head of His Church, who is praised through many cultures and styles, revealed in Holy Scripture now translated into over a thousand languages, and declared by brothers and sisters on every continent by ancient creeds - “one, holy, catholic, apostolic Church.”
