Reformed Means Missional, following Jesus into the world
Christians are not on a mission for God; his church is on his mission—the mission of bringing the grace of Christ to sinners; the mission of bringing the whole world into obedience to Christ; and the mission of filling the world with his fame and glory. Being on God’s mission means following Jesus into the world, often an evil and frightening place. It is a place of idolatry, relativism, and secularism; it is a place where sexual abuse and child abuse occur; it is a place of pain and poverty and disease; it is a place of sexual dysfunction. But it was to this place that Jesus came, and we do him honor as we follow him into the world bringing the good news of the total redeeming work of Christ. Reformed Means Missional gathers Reformed leaders from all across the globe to demonstrate why and how the church must be on God’s mission of bringing grace, holiness, compassion, and justice to a world of sin and suffering.

"God is a missionary God. He reaches out to claim and bless his people and through them to bless others. When God called Abraham, he said to him: 'I will bless you . . . so that you will be a blessing . . . and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.' We are called by God to be missionaries, to be 'missional.' We cannot all reach all families of the earth; but we can reach some families near or far. This book will help you become intentional in your focus to be missional in some area where you can have influence. Where are you a blessing? Where are you missional?" Robert C. (Ric) Cannada Jr., Chancellor Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary
