“Go on mission” they said “It will be fun!” they said Luke 10:3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves

The empty handed … missionary ! Luke 10:4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

Look for … The Person of Peace Luke 10:5-7 ‘When you enter a house, first say, “Peace to this house.” If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
