I'm looking for a church that is into Mission. Not like the mission done by missionaries, but a church that is serving the poor in our neighborhoods and towns. Foreign mission is great, and needed. But our need is equally as great here. Arkansas has one in four children going to bed hungry. This is a local disgrace that needs to be confronted. The "church" should be out front in addressing this problem, but most often is not. Oh, they might take up a canned good offering once a month, or send a little money somewhere. But how many will go downtown and feed the hungry in Hot Springs or Little Rock? I wish I could say I was. This is also a self-indictment. I have been here for two years and have only talked and written about the problem. It is time for that to end. I'm looking for people who are interested in feeding the hungry in Hot Springs or surrounding communities. Someone who knows the non-profit organizations that exist. Or a church that is doing something other than promoting Sunday morning services or working on a building fund.
