A Missional Culture
Wednesday 14 May 2008 at 6:24 pm One thing that is going to be different in Mission Raleigh this summer is my leadership of the Mission Teams and my summer interns. In the past I have worked to share the vision of Mission Raleigh and the importance of reaching at-risk communities. This year that will be just a small part of what I try to do.I really want to use this time to teach and model to my kids a culture of missions. I want missions to be so thick that very air they breathe is missions. I want them to leave this summer with the smell of missions on them. I want them to leave with the understanding that missions is not what you do one week a year, It is not what you do two months a year. It is not what you do one day a week. Missions are a lifestyle. It flows out of you without you even realizing it. It is when your heart breaks for people. It is when you think of Hell you see faces. It is what makes you not fit in places. It is what embarrasses your friend. It is who you are.
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18--20
