The mission is a movement

The mission of God requires kingdom advancing warriors moved by the spirit of God. It will not be accomplished by those who stand idly by. Those joining God's mission realize that there are forces both human and supernatural that move against the mission. The mission does not wait, but creates. It makes the most of every opportunity. It has unshakable hope that every effort is worthwhile. It believes that monumental transformations can happen over time with even the most minor shifts in a person's heart. The mission fuels itself with every movement forward. God calls every person to join him on mission, motivated by his love, and offering hope to all people, by every possible means.
I'm at the Ignite the Light conference this weekend with Ravi Zacharias.

Thanks for the comments all. Tony, the values/comments on mission are my own... although i'm sure many of my influences are obvious. They came from a series of talks I've given to several groups over the course of 2004. People had been asking that i put it to writing. A bit more formal and stripped of the stories and verbage i would usually use when speaking though.
