Mission Sunday – Worldwide. And we celebrate MSC Missions worldwide.

 Jules Chevalier called us ‘Missionaries’ in whatever we do. But he wanted us to be missionaries in other lands, rejoicing in 1881 to accept missions in New Guinea., French to Sydney and Yule Island, Germans to New Britain. Much later, Americans to New Ireland.

In Australia, we look to the land’s indigenous people and the Northern Territory, then we look north and see the PNG Province, look east and see the Pacific Islands Province, look west and we see Indonesia.

And this weekend, we look to Africa, the work of the French, Belgians, Austrians, Irish – and, more recently from Latin America.

We look to Latin America, the work of the Spanish, the Dutch, the Germans, the Italians, the Canadians.

We look to Asia, the work of the Dutch, the Australians – but in Korea, India, Vietnam, Japan, the combinations of Missionaries from within Asia, and the Asian provinces and unions sending out Missionaries.

A question from the General Administration is whether Europe is becoming ‘mission territory’.
