We need to talk about this issue. Here's my contribution: A latté in Seattle costs $3. The average Cambodian makes $1 a day. So. . . one latté equals three days of work. Meanwhile, American Christians give an estimated 2 cents out of every dollar for missions. Do we really believe in reaching the lost? Do we read passages like Isaiah 58 and take them seriously? American Christians have been blessed with so much wealth, education, time, etc. We can use that to change the world. Why aren't we doing more?
