Recently a radical young missionary came about accusing Mennonites of being a monster that likes to eat up people who are saved. That they don't care about missions or something.
It made me think about my extended family and all the missions and ways they put in efforts to forward well being of the world. Compared to them I am the pietist.
I'll name the missions.
6th Street, Philadelphia PA. Columbia, Columbia PA. Pinesburg, Williamsport MD. Agua Azul, Paraguay (two different families) Florida, Paraguay. Havanna, Cuba. Mexico City, Mexico. Benin City, Nigeria. Guaimaca, Honduras. Port au Prince, Haiti. Monrovia, Liberia. Phillipine Islands. Dominican Republic. Crockett, KY.
Additionally some in my family contributed to the founding of a Christian textbook publisher, a seminary, an annual medical mission to Africa.
Some are prison chaplains, gospel singers, and one wrote several meditation books.
I guess I need to get busy.
