One in Christ through love and service

It has been a year since the last issue of missiocom. Attempts to have more regular issues of missiocom during the year have not been successful, not because there is a lack of noteworthy news but most certainly because there is not enough time on our hands. We are so taken up by the task of creating news that most often, we fail to record them. We are surrounded by myriads of bad happenings that paralyse us into inaction.There is plenty of bad news because many of us have grown tired of doing the right thing. Good news does not just happen. It must be created. Good news is created when something good is carried out for anyone, albeit one or many

persons. When Jesus tells us to go out to proclaim the Good News, he did not simply tell us to shout it out. If mission consitututes simply going out there to tell people that God loves them and wants to save them, then we have our work cut out for us. But it is not as easy as that. Would you be able to go tell someone who has just lost something or someone precious that God loves them and leave it at that? Would you be able to tell the hungry that God loves them, without at least, giving them something to eat as well? So likewise, the proclamation of the Good News of Christ must be accompanied by love in action, what continued on page 2
