Can we somehow remove the ties that bind us to our earthly culture and materialistic values to focus on the needs of others in a place where we are not comfortable? I have always wondered how US Christians would respond if it were more difficult, perhaps even a criminal offense, to be a Christian. How many truly committed believers would be left? And of those, who would then be willing and able to sacrifice the life they know to do something as incredibly selfless as ministering to those who are the lepers of this generation?
