And let's be careful of the danger that the "ends of the earth" expression can sometimes cause in us...an abstraction, a day-dream effect, solving world hunger over there, a subtle distancing of the gospel.

The essence it seems to me, is "always, everywhere, never flagging, like a beat of the heart."

God may be calling on us to witness to those He put in your immediate environment, solving problems - thousands of them - for your family, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors, your towns people".

And it may be to help not the hungry poor, but the poor in desire, the poor in friends, the poor in tempered living, the poor in humility, etc.
