Mission is Not an Optional Extra - Christine Harding

Summary:

Mobilising the Body of Christ into Mission

Many churches are involved in supporting projects and missionaries, but is the Church really missionary minded? What is the relevance of mission to the daily life of every believer?

The Great Commission, OMF NZ director Christine Harding argues, isn't a voluntary activity or an optional extra engaged in by a few enthusiastic people. God's plan for mission originated from the very beginning of creation. Every person has the ability to bring something unique and significant to the Church's team effort in this vital calling. The challenge is to mobilise the entire Church in labouring for the Kingdom, not only within the community of believers, but throughout the week as they go about the work and tasks of their daily lives.

This book is a 'Mission 101' - a tool to aid pastors, leaders, and all Christians to understand the biblical basis for total involvement in God's mission, with suggestions for how to bring about change in our world.
