We do not have to travel to some foreign country to locate the mission field. Right here, literally in our backyards, the world has come to us. The churchs basic mission is to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God; this message has social and political aspects to its application. This is the fundamental responsibility of the church. This message is holistic and affects the total person. As the church develops a comprehensive and practical understanding of missions, this will propel Christians to act out their missional call. The challenge as to how to be truly missional requires those people considered to be disciples to engage their communities in their everyday lives. To capture the full essence of missions, this book introduces a process called strategic evangelism. This process serves to raise awareness by helping to clarify the nature of the structures and practices of the church relating to its missional focus, to develop a better awareness of local missions, and to introduce a process that will assist people to live out the mission by engaging their communities.

This book is a study of contrasts between visible things of Earth and invisible things of the kingdom of God. The Scriptures tell us, Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the worldthe lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of lifecomes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. I John 2:1517 NIV The Bible also tells us, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will ishis good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV. Why not make a decision to Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things Colossians 3:2 NIV. As you study Gods Word, may you see more of those invisible, eternal things! But remember these words of Jesus, Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again! John 3:3 NIV.
