Why do Mission Anyways?

We do mission because:

• it is good for us
• we feel bad for others
• we are called to be obedient to God
• important people let us know of it’s value
• we owe it to others – they have so little

Ask any number of people of people why they are involved in mission and the answers tend relate somewhere along the theme of responsibility.

I believe in our responsibility. I believe we need to move from that feeling into action. Still if I am honest (every so often)  I think that there might be something more to the reason ‘why’ …

Here is my answer to the question, “Why do we do mission?” – it was recorded during a training session in Ottawa, November 07.

Why do you do mission (or not)?
