And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed. When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home. And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. Acts 21:4-7

Being a Christian means we have more family than we know! Almost everywhere we may go, there will be Christians there. I say almost, because sadly, there are still many places around the world where Christians are scarce and or persecuted, and therefore hard to find. But in much of the world, and for sure in our country, there are churches everywhere. Two things to consider:

How wonderful that even if we are strangers, and even if we have nothing else in common with Christians we do not know, we share the most important thing: our common faith in Christ! And because of this, even if other church services are very different from what we are used to, fellowship can still take place. (Frances and I have been in other countries in which we did not understand a word that was said—but we knew we were with family in Christ!)

When you are out of town on vacation or business, find and attend a church. Do your best to find a biblical church, of course! And have discernment regarding doctrine. But again, even if the worship style is unfamiliar, enjoy the fellowship. Remember God has His people just about everywhere, and it is good for us to find other disciples wherever we go.
