imagining how the church can reorient around mission

"Tell the students to give up their small ambitions and come eastward to preach the gospel of Christ." — Francis Xavier, missionary to India, the Philippines, and Japan

In an era where we are wonderfully recapturing the realization that each and every person is a missionary, in context, I am also seeing a bit of a shrinking away from the idea of leaving land and family for the sake of the Gospel.  In my situation, I am seeking to inspire and recruit people to a very unchurched land – Europe.  I know, it is not seen as needy like India or Asia, but the stark reality is western Europe, in the words of the late missiologist Lessilie Newbigin, is the last great mission field. I am just going to say it: will you pray about involving yourself in missional/incarnational church planting in Europe?"

If you feel a calling or even a tinge of interest in pursuing a cross-cultural expression in mission, get a hold of me or visit Christian Associates website to find out how that might happen.  I would love to help!
