“Discover how to live a life focused on missions every day.”
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” – Galatians 2:20
What Does It Mean to Live a Mission-Focused Life?
A mission-focused life is about aligning your daily choices, relationships, and goals with God’s greater purpose for His Kingdom. Galatians 2:20 highlights the heart of this mindset: living by faith in Christ and letting His mission shape every aspect of life.
This doesn’t necessarily mean moving to another country or becoming a full-time missionary. Instead, it’s about adopting a heart for missions wherever you are, seeing every interaction and opportunity as a way to share God’s love and truth.
Key Principles of a Mission-Focused Life
