Our 'ends of the earth'? That's wherever God calls us to step out in faith.
The disciples were told not to stand looking into the sky. We too are called to action. We're part of this grand adventure that began over 2000 years ago.
Where is our Jerusalem? How can we be witnesses today? Remember, we are never alone - we go with the power of the Holy Spirit. Let's embrace our role in this epic story of God's love and redemption.
