Thoughts & Resources for Global Mission Engagement
What might you do? How might you live into your baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ?
First and foremost … do something … do anything … to engage in God’s mission in the world.
In so doing, be mindful of the power of “ministry of presence” and consider joining our brothers in sisters in mission elsewhere in the world by …- Leading a mission team to an international destination to work on a school, a church, a community center, a housing project, a medical clinic
- Sponsoring a school, clinic, program, diocesan project
- Learning about projects and programs in which you might become more involved
- Leading and/or participating in a medical mission
- Being open to Christ’s transforming love wherever it may be found in the world
The following is not an exhaustive list nor does the absence of a country imply that it is a less desirable destination for mission. It is offered solely as a starting point for churches in discernment. It provides contacts and some ideas about global mission that can assist a church in visioning next steps.
