Missional = ?

It's the new buzz word for communities of faith. It's a focus away from self and back on to the missio dei.

20 years ago during a time of passionate worship I asked to be a part of Psalms 2:8 and, looking back, I can see that it is the missional focus of my life. "Ask of me and I will give the nations as your inheritance."

At the time I had no idea I was being "missional," I was just being obedient.

Perhaps this is the largest part of being "missional" -- obedience to God and a passionate desire for his presence.
