If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own
father and mother and wife and children and
brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear
his own cross and come after me cannot be my
disciple. So therefore, any one of you who does
not renounce all that he has cannot be my
disciple. -Luke 1426, 27, 33

ourselves to claim anything as coming from us,
but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us
competent to be ministers of a new covenant - 2

We are all missionaries. Wherever we go, we
either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel
them from Christ.
