Our personal involvement in God's mission takes place wherever we are - wherever God has placed us. Each of us, in our "station" or "calling" in life, is called to serve God and bear witness to his grace - whether as child, parent, husband, wife, citizen, employee, employer, government official, soldier, police officer, teacher, construction worker. As we serve faithfully "as to the Lord" (Ephesians 6:7), opportunities will arise to testify by word and deed to the hope that is within us as a result of our faith in Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:15). On our shrinking planet, God provides numerous opportunities for witness and service where we live and far beyond."
