I was most impacted by Lecrae talking about his conference experience, specifically seeing others exist within their culture but fervently pursuing Jesus. He’d clearly never been exposed to the possibility of being an indigenous missionary up to that point and it gave him new life, new breath, new meaning.

Did you know that God has you right where he wants you? He has you in this place, this time, this moment, for a reason. Do you know that reason? Big picture, it’s to worship Him and glorify Him in all you do.

But how are you connected to the culture around you? Whether it’s being involved in your kids’ sports, or in a college function, or your work, you are where you are for a purpose.

I am an advocate of making disciples of all nations. I’ve been to Guatemala more than once and I know it’s a big part of God’s mission. But your daily commute, that coffee you pick up on your way to class or the office, the errands and chores you run, the sports arena you frequent… that’s your local missions field. The parents, friends, classmates and coworkers you rub shoulders with… they need reached, told about the saving grace of Christ.

Missions isn’t something you do. It’s something you live.

Happy Easter.
