I suppose it would be somewhere where God is unknown to the people I’m ministering to. I think many areas where God is well known have already decided how they feel about their religion, and there would be no real effect from what I have to say. I must admit I am a more liberal Christian than many folks. I do not feel that you should mix religion with politics, and the area I live in proves that many societies feel they can legislate morality. To have a group of people who have no preconceived notion about Christianity, and to allow them to draw their own conclusions about how they want their religious beliefs to fit in with their lives would be excellent. I live in an area in south central PA, and the attitudes towards people who do not believe in God are far from the loving example Jesus displayed in the Bible. Didn’t he spend his time amongst the sinners and undesirables? He did not spend any more time with the mainstream religious people than he had to, except to show them the error of their ways. So to be with people that are a “clean slate” in the eyes of God would be the most rewarding to me

Thanks for sharing, jessie1. You bring up some important things for all believers to think about. And one thing that’s clear is that God has you in a good place to minister to Him. Your understanding of your local culture and the baggage of non-Christlike “Christianity” within it will certainly help you be an effective and loving witness for Jesus right where you’re planted!

I always wanted to go to a remote place, where no one ever heard the good news before or to a persecuted place where sharing the good news would be forbidden by local authorities. But recently, my deepest desire is to minister in the place I’m in right here,right now, wherever I go and in each stage of my life. I find that to minister to the people I come in contact with on a daily basis and my loved ones comes with obstacles such as fear of being rejected. I haven’t found the boldness to minster or feel equipped. But I hope I’ll continue to persevere in this journey of dying more to ‘self’ and let the love of Christ rule over all !
