Summary

Surprise—if you call yourself a follower of Jesus, He calls you a missionary!

You may never go halfway around the world, but because of God's work in you, you are on mission. As everyday missionaries, God has sent us to live out his Great Commission in the ordinary, all-too-busy, and even mundane moments of our lives.

• But what exactly does an everyday missionary do?
• Where and when does everyday mission happen?
• How can you possibly share the gospel without killing your relationships? 

A Field Guide for Everyday Mission answers these questions and more for individuals, churches, groups, and organizations. Each day's reading includes an immediately practical biblical principle and a few ways to help you live it out. By the end of Day 30, you'll have 101 different ways to demonstrate the gospel.

With stories from leaders like Steve Timmis, Jeff Vanderstelt, Mark DeYmaz, Mary DeMuth, Rick McKinley, and Lance Ford, the authors have created a tool for anyone ready to jump into the grace-filled mess of everyday mission.
