Defining Missional

Recently I have been challenged to define missional in my own mind. It is a word that is thrown around so much and means something different in almost every context.

In one setting I was in, missional meant nothing more than outreach oriented. I was saddened quite a bit by this.

So here is where I have landed after thinking about this for a while. Some of this is from my training with Missio.

Missional: To be sent to be a blessing in the world.

Thats it!

Not a model not a strategy or even a focus!
