On a Mission From God

Each of us is called to be of service to our neighbors, but we do it in different ways. Some people feel called to travel hundreds or thousands of miles on mission trips. Some volunteer in their local community. And all of us can be "on a mission" and of service to others right in the places where we are, in the midst of whatever we our doing—at home, at work, in the neighborhood, with family, with friends, and strangers.

Like the Blues Brothers, we are all on a mission from God. It may not be getting the old band back together, but most of the time it has something to do with repairing our broken world.

Here are some questions to get us started:

• Have you ever felt like you were called by God (or something bigger than you) to do something?

• Where has God called you to be in mission? How do you know? What is your experience like?

• Have you ever felt called to places beyond your comfort zone?

• Are you wondering what you are called to do?
