Understanding mission as a project feels helpful, at least to me. Being assigned a project is far less daunting than being sent on a mission. Mission inspires me, but it also overwhelms me. A project is doable, one step at a time.

For Reflection:

What about you? How has a call from God manifested in your life?

What project does God have you working on right now?

When you think about the mission of the Christian Church, what is it? What’s God’s invitation to us now?
