All Missionaries are Christians....All Christians are Missionaries.

Community living is hit and miss. Sometimes it is a pain in the ass and I wish I could ditch that part of my internship here at urban promise and sometimes it is the best part of being here. This week, with old peeps coming back to visit, it feels like everything went back to normal. Staying up late watching tv, standing around the kitchen making smoothies and doing crosswords, playing man tracker at stanley park. 

I always assumed that when you worked in ministry you would, for the mostpart, connect with everyone you work with. You all have a common interest. You are all trying to live in a certain way. I THOUGHT. I couldn't have been more wrong. Despite the fact that we all follow one God and yearn to serve, we all have different idea's of what that means exactly. Why is that? Is that the way it should be? Is it something inside us, a feeling, a 'hunch', that we're born with that tells us how we will serve. And from the people I have met in the last year, the way you want to serve and where you want to serve definitely has a knock on effect on the type of person you are.
