The Mission Field.

The Bible is a firm foundation in an ever-changing mission field.

When many of us as Christians hear the word mission, the first thought is of distant places, of Christ's words to reach “the ends of the earth.” And rightly so. God’s mission is to reconcile to Himself people from all nations through Christ. But God’s heart is not just for faraway lands. The mission also includes our friends, neighbours and the communities right on our doorstep, in a country where for the first time since records began, less than half of the country identifies as a Christian.
