History

All around the world camps, seminars, weekends, workshops and other events are being held that help people to get involved with Missions. Many Christians all over the globe have been blessed and helped through these services. Most of these events have a strong emphasis on “Missions” in its traditional meaning. “Going” is what it’s all about, often presented as the perfect submission to the will of God; the highest obedience. What are we talking about when we say “missions”? Is it really something one can “do”? I am radically convinced that the church needs to see redemption in this area and “take back what he (the enemy) took from us”, which is our identity!

 

The vision

To take people out of their workplaces, schools, homes, businesses and send them back with a whole new perspective on life: the missions perspective - "I'm on a mission". The majority of God’s people are in positions that they would not refer to as a "mission field". Yet, Jesus said that the field is the world. So, whether people like it or not, they're in the field and they need help looking at it from this perspective: God’s perspective.

 

The perspective

Participants are helped to start thinking beyond where they are at in life; asking themselves how they can serve God best according to their gifts, passions and skills. Newly gained insight and knowledge concerning their gifts, personality profile, the will of God and a sense of calling will result in a new paradigm; a new perspective and experience that missions is not something one does but something one is.
