I was speaking with Rick from HeBrews Coffee House the other day and he was telling me about a comment that was made in class a week ago that he really appreciated. Scott was giving the weekly announcements and mentioned that he was really excited to be a part of a church where world missions was a large focus. Scott mentioned that our church could build a lot of things and buy a lot of things to make our church more comfortable and provide more activities. CBT could build another building such as a Gymnasium, Banquet Hall, or a Family Life Center. Then he said, "But our priorities are in the right place. Our priority is in reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ."

You see, recently a team from Canton Baptist Temple flew to Tanzania to dedicate the Truth Center in the small village of Katesh. This is where two families from our church (The Burkholders and The Wolf's are serving as missionaries) and one more family (The Henderson's) are preparing to serve there. Maybe this is not such a big deal to most people, but wait . . . (mere)
