A powerful story of God’s faithfulness in the Middle East. 

IS MISSION A THING?

Is mission a “thing”? In many cases we use mission in a sentence like we refer to a sport. For example, in the sentence, “I’m going to play volleyball,” volleyball is used as a noun. In a similar way, someone might say, “I’m going on a mission trip.” Now I’m not great with grammar, but I do recall that in elementary school they learned me that a noun is a person, place or thing.

The people of God are invited to participate in God’s mission. This is a big task, nothing short of the redemption and restoration of the cosmos.
