I'm Part of the Concern...I Belong...I Go!

Here is a little story from 1887 listed under Mission Items:
A clergyman on his way to a missionary meeting, overtook a boy and asked him the road and where he was going?
"Oh," he said, "I’m going to the meeting to hear about the missionaries."
"Missionaries!" said the minister. "What do you know about missionaries?"
"Why," said the boy, "I’m part of the concern. I’ve got a missionary box and I always go to the missionary meeting; I belong".

The reflection was then added to this story:
"Every child should feel that he (or she) is ’part of the concern.’ and that his work is just as important as that of anyone else. Linch-pins are very little things, but if they drop out, the wagon is likely to come to a stand-still. Every pin and screw should be in working order, and every child should be able to say, ’I always go to the missionary meeting. Why, I’m part of the concern."

I’m part of the concern!
I belong!
I go!

We are partners together in this great undertaking of God!

Mission is always about people meeting people and often what stands out are the differences in people and the cultures they create.
