The Missional Christian
Pomp and Circumstance — An Unremarkable Child
The Missional Church is a popular term from the last decade or so and it describes an important shift in understanding and practice whereby mission is no longer understood as a particular program in the ministry mix of a congregation, but as a congregation’s way of life. The Missional Church understands every inch of ground outside its doors to be the mission field. It takes Missional Christians to make a missional church. That is, mission is something we all do everyday, not something some of our friends at the church may do sometimes. So work, school, home and neighborhood become the places where each one of us is sent by God to bear witness to his love in word and deed. “You will know them by their fruits,” Jesus told his disciples who were wondering what is the mark of true and false disciples.
