Often when we think about the mission of the church, we see it as a job for the professionals. The clergy or the missionary are the called ones. But just like the trench warfare by the common soldier, the mission of the church mostly fought in the home, the workplace, school, or the playground. Being on mission for God is not some clandestine calling for a few, but the invitation to all of us to live a life of purpose and make a difference in our work right where we live. To be mission-ready does not come without risk or challenge. But the reality of the regret for not showing up, if a far higher price.
