What la man? The Bible tells us that man is made in the image of God and Cod seeks to bring man into that full image, because somehow or other the image bas been distorted. If we can realize what la in any person and can only see that God w ants us to help others to find who they. are, then we would have a better idea of what mis- sion is. Mission means more than send- ing a f ew dollars to needy people in another country. If we could look deeply into our own lives we would realize sometimes that we are giving in a proud way to poer, needy people.

They need God, of course, but se doý we.
