Quote from "Total Church" from Tim Chester & Steve Timmis.
p.33 "We find it easier to be radical in our thinking when we transplant ourselves outside our current situation. But we are as much missionaries here and now as we would be if we were part of a cross cultural team in another part of the world. Mission is central to us whoever we are."
When I became a Christian 25 years ago, I remember saying – why should I go into full time missionary work? As a Physiotherapist there is no better way to meet new people. I am in a 1 to 1 relationship with my patients for 20 to 40 minutes and am serving them. Talk flows naturally to “deeper” things and if my eyes are focused on Jesus, my patients will often ask me about my faith. However, though this is still my conviction, I need to much more INTENTIONAL in this – not in my words, but in my heart.
