Mission is the work we do when we choose to live out the second half of the great comandment of Jesus, to love our neighbors. Mission is a compassionate response to the needs of others.

Compassion was modelled by Jesus when he healed physical, emotional, and spiritual injuries in those he met. He healed those who asked as well as those who didn't; he healed the sinful as often as the sinless; He healed those who thanked him as well as those who didn't.

When we heal and love and care unconditionally in Christ's name, we live out his calling for us. We become his hands and feet, but mostly, we become his heart in the world today.

Mission is a matter for the heart!
