Introduction	The whole world is our congregation? When Wesley writes that he looks "upon all the world as my parish" he is offering an expansive view of ministry. Wesley reminded us not to be stuck thinking that God only shows up inside the church or inside the four walls of whatever box we put God in. God's presence and activity encompass the whole world, indeed, "the ends of the earth," so ministry and mission are possible everywhere. Church structures help us do ministry, but ministry is not confined to those structures. Wesley insisted that we share the good news of God's love and do good in all places. God is pulling us to participate in God's work in the world. God is always ahead of us in ministry, down the block, across the country, and around the world. The church as the body of Christ is never holed up inside a building but is sent to the world to proclaim good news.-Wesley Study Bible, 1322
