Missional churches everywhere have these things in common. They are Evangelistic, Inclusive, Compassionate and Reproductive. The words missional, missionary, missions imply a driving commitment to go beyond the faith community. The Christian mission is to persuade people to become followers of Jesus. Evangelism and missions are one and the same, spreading the good news of the kingdom or reign of God on earth.
Evangelism is the announcement or proclamation of the good news.
Missions is obedience to the great commission to carry the Word to the ends of the earth - beginning across the street and around the corner. This is much more than simply multiplying converts or even adding members to our church roles or more people in worship. That will follow. Missions is about making disciples, or, as the first disciples were referred to-followers of Jesus. It's about making a difference in the world.
