Lee University is a Christian campus. Mission majors, pastoral majors, theology majors and many other types of religion majors make up a hefty percentage of our campus. These people are Christians (Note that I am generalizing the term Christian here. There are non-Christains at Lee, also.). There are also many non-religion majors here at Lee also that see themselves as Christians.
At Lee University, home of the Flames, we strive to be the best Christians we can be. We take Bible classes, and ethics courses, and the ever-so-popular Benevolence class to enhance our spirituality. We are also required to take a cross-cultural trip (missions trip) before we graduate. We do everything right to be the perfect Christians.
Daily, I hear so many students say this: " I can't wait to be on the mission field!", "I want to go to (Insert foreign country here) and help people and minster to people!" Lately, my eyes have been opened. And when I saw that poor woman sitting there, alone, on a primarily Christian campus, I was struck. How can we say we are ready to go find people of another language, ethnicity, and culture and minster to them, if we can even see people of our own culture that God has put right in front of our faces? We can't. Missions starts here. Try seeing instead of just looking.
