Speaking of missions
Missions by the Book: We must tell of Jesus
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" - Acts 4:12, NIV
Quotable: The reality in Lebanon
"It's going to change those who come here when they realize that the images created in our mind from the media aren't reality. Reality is being here, walking the dusty streets, shaking the hands of the people and seeing their smiles." - Larry Shine, task force director for clean-up and recovery for the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, following a visit to Lebanon to assess relief needs there
