Aren’t the most popular mission trips the ones that take us far from our own neighborhood? Russia is easy; our own neighborhood is a constant challenge. Has anyone consistently had the boldness and clarity of Jesus in testifying about the gospel? Never. Has anyone consistently avoided the fear of man in evangelism? Certainly not. There is a “foolishness” inherent in the message of the cross. The clear proclamation of the gospel does not make us look good. It doesn’t make us popular.

INSTRUCTIONS

SOAKING MIXTURE
SAUCE
Combine the soaking mixture ingredients and soak the ribs for 2 to 4 hours.
Heat the oil in a heavy 10 inch skillet, and over low heat saute' the
onions, green pepper, celery and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are
soft, about
10    minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and
simmer for 30 minutes. The sauce should be thick. Discard the lemon wedges
and put the sauce quickly through a food processor fitted with the steel
blade. Don't puree the sauce; it should retain a good deal of texture. The
blender will homogenize it too much. A good alternative to a food processor
is a food mill.
Grill the ribs, basting and turning every 15-20 minutes. Serve the
remaining sauce, heated, with the ribs.
