How do they know we are Christians?

I had pretty much made up my mind that I would travel to Ayacucho, Peru, in April of 2009, with Cross Cultural Solutions. I had one reservation (besides the cost!). CCS sounded like a great organization, but they were not a Christian organization, this wouldn't be a mission trip, this was strictly a volunteer trip. Then one Saturday night in church, we sang this song.

We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love

We will work with each other, we will work side by side
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we'll guard each one's dignity and save each one's pride
They will know we are Christians by our love
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love

We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand
And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love

(They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love, written by Peter Scholtes, 1968)

I guess that answered that question.
