In Sunday’s sermon message, our Pastor said; we don’t have to reach thousands to be involved in missions. What is our interpretation of missions? Leaving everything behind and going to another country? No, missions is simply an important assignment carried out that may involve travel and crossing boundaries.

Our Pastor reminded us of this sign that we see when leaving our church parking lot (traveling, crossing boundaries), which says; you are now entering the mission field. In John 17:18 NIV, Jesus said; “As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.” As Christian’s our mission in the world can be our job, a neighbor, or even a stranger at the grocery store.

It is also important to remember that our mission isn’t always going to be the cleanest or the prettiest task. We may not need to travel far but we certainly may need to travel outside the boundaries of our comfort zone. Jesus also said in Matthew 25:40 NIV, ““The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

On this Water Walking Wednesday I encourage us all to keep our eyes open for a mission we can do today. I am sure we will all cross at least one boundary. If we are stationary that may be a phone call. If we are physically able, that may be an encounter by making a trip to the grocery store. You will be amazed at the small missions we can do everyday.
