WHO WE ARE MISSION Magazine is an interdenominational Christian magazine of organizations and individuals who are committed to serving the global church in the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ. The magazine is dedicated to supporting the efforts of the Center for Missional Leadership, a 501c3 non-profit organization based in South Central Texas. The Mission Magazine objective is to have to have each associate of the organizations that we serve and partner with and each child of God we come into contact with, to engage in a lifetime of mission. To engage in a lifetime of mission is defined as:
Life Purpose: A life lived out for solely for the name and the glory of Jesus Christ, with the accompanying power and counsel of the Holy Spirit.
True Identity: A life that embraces the primary identity of being a child of God, and of being a missionary for the gospel in everyday life, regardless of chosen vocation or occupation.
Christian Worldview: A life that views Christian mission as both fluid and adaptable- as close as "the field of vision" (i.e. home, workplace, and other venues of domestic community), and extending to the "ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
Stewardship: A life that views the highest calling of spiritual leadership to be active stewardship - the stewardship of relationships, time, and resources, guided by the Holy Spirit. The word missionalis synonymous with a life of mission and ministry. It is not simply a word, an idea, a fad, or a theological concept. “Missional” is the definition of an active lifestyle of overflowing gratitude that has embraced the grace, invitation and mission of our Lord Jesus Christ.
