Honoring God Where You Are

Want to change the world? Stuck at home for the summer? Still want to change the world?
You're not alone. In fact, you're surrounded by the world. "Change the world" somehow aquired a connotation with "change somewhere other than where you are." That's not the case. Africa is no better than America, and Moscow is no better than [insert your hometown here].
Yes, there are things to be done in the slums of Africa and the alleys of Moscow. They are things that should be done by those who have had those tasks assigned to them by God. As for you, well, you'll feel most fulfilled when you're doing what God is calling you to do, where He calls you to do it.
Where is God calling you? If you can't leave for a mission trip, or if you feel that God is calling you to stay home this summer (note: this is not the same as being xenophobic), ask God how He wants to use you in your community.
You can start changing your community for Christ immediately. Immerse yourself in the Word. Live the Word. Those two simple things can make a huge difference, and they are always a part of God's will for you.
How will you change your world - starting in America - for Christ?
