Multicultural London is ideal missions ground

For more than 200 years, London has been a repository for some of the globe's most remarkable cultural treasures.

Friends embrace during Refugee Week, an annual event celebrating refugees' cultural contributions to the U.K. Events highlighted refugees' influences in the arts, music and food, and allowed networking among ethnicities.

In an hour's stroll through the British Museum, a visitor can view Greek statues from the Parthenon; colossal stone-winged lions from an Assyrian palace; the Rosetta Stone, the world's key to unlocking the language of the pharaohs; and a plethora of other incomparable, priceless treasures.

Yet other treasure has found a home in London outside the secure walls of a world-class museum.

That treasure is on the streets, in the neighborhoods, riding the buses and underground trains, heading to an Olympics venue, working in the restaurants or attending the schools.

It's the people.

There's Asuntha, for instance. Her Sri Lankan husband brought her to London just after they were married.

GOD created the heavens and the earth and everything in them, which tells me there is much room and need there for missions. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy as did JESUS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD

OzymandiasBY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
