Mission – that churchy buzz word that sounds a little military to the unaccustomed ear, almost intimidating to those who have heard it in church over and over and all sorts of vague yet exciting to the budding evangelist.

Mission is exciting. It is joining God in His mission as he calls His children back to Himself. This is why we use this word. It is ongoing, it matters, and we are all involved; if already know Him we are all called to join in His mission.

But we are well aware that introducing people to Jesus does not always feel like the most natural and obvious thing. There can be awkward moments. There can be disconnects – questions we don’t quite know how to answer, endless hours of seemingly fruitless conversation, invites that fall on deaf ears or somewhere into an abyss of half-communication and well-intended attempts.

This happens. There is no one way of sharing Jesus or joining in with God’s mission to your friends. There is no one formula, or personality type that just connects with people… But there is your way. The way you most naturally share and engage with Jesus, as made by God. Your friends each have their own styles and ways of engaging with Jesus too.

We each have our own Mission Style. There are four Mission Styles, to be precise. Although we are each entirely unique and nuanced within these categories – these styles will help you understand the ways you best engage with Jesus, and the ways your friends are seeking to engage with Him too.

We have a generation who are hungry to hear about Jesus. We are seeing on campus’ across the nations that more and more students actually have no idea who Jesus is & have never heard about God as someone to believe in; they are open and hungry to find out more.

Mission Styles is a tool designed to release you to share Jesus in a way that is natural for you, and effective for your mates. Look out for blog posts on the four styles over the next four days:
