Being on Mission 24/7 - All the Time; Everywhere

Below is the list of ideas on the back of my outline in the bulletin for Sunday, May 17th. Pastor Kirk Dewitt of Calvary's Community/World Ministry put these together for me. Checkout some of the other ways his team can help you serve people who need to see Jesus:http://www.mission-central.com

Here is a good blog posting that gives some other practical ways to be "On Mission" all the time, everywhere: http://theresurgence.com/Dodson_Simplified_Missional_Living 

God wants to use us to transform the city of Westlake, Thousand Oaks, Augora, Moorpark, Simi Valley, etc. He plans to use us to transform the Greater Conejo Valley as we live and love like Jesus! I am so excited about what God will do with us if we are "On Mission." This song captures it (it is the song that we conclude my message with May 17th): God of the City

Check these resources out and add some ideas of your own in the comment section of this posting. Let's help each other live and love like Jesus!
