About 2,800 miles separate Manhattan, N.Y., from Malibu, Calif.
By car that trip would take roughly 41 hours, according to Google Maps.
The good news for Christian Chronicle readers: We did the traveling for you.
To be totally transparent, we didn’t drive. We relied on commercial flights to carry us to the scene of important news featured in this month’s Chronicle.
But the point remains the same: Whenever possible, we go where the story is. We rely on dedicated supporters of this ministry to help cover travel costs, and we strive to make the best, most efficient use of donated funds — no one is flying first class.
Why go where the story is? Because that’s the best way to report real news that honors God. It helps us fulfill our mission of informing, inspiring and connecting members of Churches of Christ around the world.
This editorial appears in the October print edition of The Christian Chronicle.
