Includes 5 x Participants Guides

Many of us find it hard to talk about mission; we want people to know God’s love but we don’t know how to share it with them. So how can we live as witnesses of Jesus Christ in our everyday lives? Mission Shaped Living provides you and your Church with the tools and resources to develop discipleship and an outward focus among you and your congregation, through an eight-week course for your small group or the whole Church. Mission Shaped Living brings together some spiritual practices and principles that other ordinary Christians have found helpful, and gives you some steps to follow as you go on a journey of exploring how you can be the witness Jesus has called you to be for Him. It’s designed to equip us to live out our faith in Jesus in such a way that we lead others to follow Him, just as Jesus said in His last words to His disciples (in Matt. 28 above). The focus of the course is on us being prayerful, joy-filled, thankful people who live our lives on-mission with Jesus, knowing that he promised to give us his Holy Spirit to enable us to be His witnesses (Acts 1:8). We believe that if others are to come to trust in Jesus it will come through the ordinary everyday witness of Christians in families, work places, gyms, coffee shops, schools, etc.—that’s us. People are looking for authenticity and church leaders are looking for resources that encourage a life-long and deep discipleship that results in effective mission with authenticity.
