I always thought that being mission-ready is always about going out, going somewhere something that involves leaving the place. I am mission –ready when I am ready to go anywhere, anytime. Being a CFC-Youth fulltime pastoral worker for the last 9 years prepared me to be always mission ready.
As I am now in full transition as SFC fulltime pastoral worker, I noticed that I haven’t left BC to do the mission. I thought I did not experience the fullness of being a missionary coz I am just here in my base area. Though I have been helping in all the SFC activities in Vancouver, I had a different mindset about it.
In my reflection, the Lord corrected me. Being mission-ready is not about going somewhere or leaving my place. The reality of the mission is still the same here in Vancouver. The call to be mission –ready also means living out the mission everyday of my life. Everyday I have to be mission-ready not because I will be sent out but because I am going to reflect Christ in whatever way I can.
“Lord Jesus Christ you are mission-ready. Teach me Lord to have a heart like yours ever ready to beat with the people. May I have a sense of urgency to bring You to other people. May I be filled with the Holy Spirit so I will catch every opportunity to witness for You.”
