I know some might be tempted to say, “Oh, but there’s so much NEED in America, how can we focus so much on what’s going on overseas?” I understand. We don’t do work overseas to the exclusion of work in RDU. But we do believe that the light that shines the farthest will also shine the brightest at home. I have seen in the last 5 years that the more somebody lifts their eyes to the worldwide spread of the Gospel, the more active they become here.-J.D. Greear, Summit Church, Durham, N.C.
