The missionary question is not, 'where are there unbelievers?' and then send a missionary there. there are unbelievers everywhere! the missionary question is, 'where are there people's who don't have any christians in them or don't have a church strong enough to do the neighbor evangelism that we can do if we just want to do it?' that's the missionary question.

More From John Piper

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. but i would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.
Enemy Neighbor Interest
The key to evangelism is a great product. it is easy, almost unavoidable, to catalyze evangelism for a great product. it is hard, almost impossible, to catalyze evangelism for crap.

It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ... some of the worst tyrannies of our day genuinely are "vowed" to the service of mankind, yet can function only by pitting neighbor against neighbor. the all-seeing eye of a totalitarian regime is usually the watchful eye of the next-door neighbor. in a communist state love of neighbor may be classed as counter-revolutionary.
Eye Doors Humanity
I do not believe in the creed professed by the jewish church, by the roman church, by the greek church, by the turkish church, by the protestant church, nor by any church that i know of. my own mind is my own church.

It is clear you don't like my way of doing evangelism. you raise some good points. frankly, i sometimes do not like my way of doing evangelism. but i like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?

Throw a stone into the stream and the ripples that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of all influence.
Beautiful Stones Influence
My loving friend, you see, my life was never given a foundation, no one was able to imagine what it would want to become. in venice there stands the so-called ca del duca, a princely foundation, on which later the most wretched tenement came to be built. with me it's the opposite: the beautiful arched elevations of my spirit rest on the most tentative beginning; a wooden scaffolding, a few boards....is that why i feel inhibited in raising the nave, the tower to which the weight of the great bells is to be hoisted (by angels, who else could do it)?
Beautiful Angel Opposites
I'm having to do a lot to keep my clothes on and not be cast in girlfriend roles. some women will say, "i don't want to be a man - i want the opportunities i can get as a woman." women have a certain sexuality, and i think their bodies are beautiful and i'm not embarrassed to explore that in a film. but there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent - just like there's a side of me that's vulgar and violent.
