The Mission…… Who does it? Why is it essential in our churches today? Isn’t it simply for missionaries? These questions are but a few of those posed during a group discussion on finding the meaning in the church’s mission statements and how messaging it to a wider diaspora will encourage us to act more like first-century followers of Christ, spreading His love, His gospel, Gods’ mission for us on…
