Marketplace Missionaries
Making disciples isn't just a Church thing. It's a work thing!
If 70 to 80 percent of Americans are not attending church on a regular basis, we believers must take the church to them. To see our cities, states, and nations change, we cannot sit idly by and watch our pastors or local church leaders bear the responsibility for change alone. As followers of Jesus, we are the Church with a capital C. We are ambassadors or missionaries for the Kingdom of God. God wants to partner with us to make disciples of all nations. Approaching the marketplace as not solely a place to earn a living but also as a mission field is one way of fulfilling the Great Commission.
