Synopsis

You, the Missionary stresses the biblical truth that Christians and churches should move beyond being mission-minded to becoming fully missional. Missional Christians and churches accept God's commission for making disciples among every people as their own marching orders. They engage directly and personally in the efforts to take God's love and God's message to every person in the world. These missional Christians and churches are careful never to so emphasize and engage in missions in other regions that they overlook the needs of people in their own neighborhood. Every believer and every church should strive with the Holy Spirit's empowerment to be the missionary God wants and expects all His followers to be.
