"Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."
1 Peter 4:10
Mission can take a thousand different forms. It can happen within the walls of the church or half a world away, across the backyard fence or in the inner city. God is at work. Find out what God is doing and join Him. Even Jesus did not come to be served but to serve and give His life away.
