While I understand that we need to consider the poor more than we probably do, don't the rich get to have some minsitry too?  Most upper-middle and upper class towns do not have evangelical churches that preach the gospel.  Don't they deserve to hear the gospel too?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Today's Christian seems to despise the rich which is going to keep the ongoing problem of reaching them.  They basically can be classified as some of the most unreached people's in the world. Most missionaries minister to the poor.  But thankfully, an organization like Campus Crusade does know they exist and has excellent programs to reach them. too, in college and post-college.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6820638901255794741/2517232973208546692/comments/default/1237285178081499685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6820638901255794741/2517232973208546692/comments/default/1237285178081499685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.parablesofaprodigalworld.com/2008/07/incoherent-ramblings-that-might-or.html?showComment=1216303926202#c1237285178081499685' title=''/><author><name>Diane R</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02442757505452061995</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.parablesofaprodigalworld.com/2008/07/incoherent-ramblings-that-might-or.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820638901255794741.post-2517232973208546692' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6820638901255794741/posts/default/2517232973208546692' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820638901255794741.post-2809806947641730316</id><published>2008-07-15T23:03:58.938-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-15T23:03:58.938-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you for this great post!
