CULTIVATING MISSIONS AWARENESS
SENDING CHURCH ELEMENT #1
A sending church cultivates missions awareness by instilling a holistic culture of God’s mission rather than simply a missions ministry. Instead of beginning with activity, the church fosters a sent identity, a missional lens through which to see all of life. Church leaders first give attention to growth in their own missiology, then help their fellow leaders and members to know the local and global calling that flows from God’s heart.
