Missions Emphasis Week 2022-2023, Session III - Rev. Tom Brazell - What about Samaria?

What does it mean to love my neighbor? As a pastor of pastors, Rev. Tom Brazell has not only experience leading the local church, but the international church as he and his wife served many years in the Dominican Republic of Congo. He shares with our students a straightforward message about how Jesus said what He meant, and meant what he said. Acts 1:8 affirms, "...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Jesus not only commanded his disciples to go to the ends of the earth to minister but He ministered to different people throughout Judea, Samaria, and wherever God took Him. Rev. Tom elaborates on what it means to minister to our own Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. Most Christians, he states, "would not admit that they dislike Samaria (those people who are difficult to minister to)". Nevertheless, we are called to love and minister to "Samaritans" simply because God loves them too, and they need a savior.
