local-global mission

I came across this quote which I liked:


Local People Global Mission


"Mission is everything the local-global church is sent into the world to be and do as a participant in God's mission and every person and gift the local-global church receives in Christ's name and way. The missional practice of the local-global church must be holistic, with activities of evangelism, compassionate service, and social justice. God's loving mission is two-way; it includes both giving and receiving. Every person, religion and culture has material, intellectual, aesthetic, social, affective, and spiritual values that the other can receive."
