Missional

For a lot of us the word "missional" is a new slant on an old word. As I sit in my final day of a class called "Our Mission from God: Transforming Agent," I want to give a nut shell version of why we (churches) do mission in our communities and all around the world. It mainly comes from one of the texts on mission by Gailyn Van Rheenen.

God is the reason for mission

Jesus Christ is the message of mission

The Holy Spirit is the power of mission

The local congregation is the embodiment of mission

The world is the target of mission

...and that's it in a nutshell, or as Forest Gump said, "And that's all I have to say about that."

I agree with all you say, but would submit the following idea:
"Being in mission is exciting."
