What is Mission?

Gospel-Centred Integral Mission—in Acts?

• Understanding Mission
  "integral (or holistic) mission holds together both the proclamation of the gospel in evangelism and the demonstration of the gospel in works of compassion and justice."
  "Any tension between [evangelism and social engagement] is not in the Bible but generated by ourselves, in the way churches may emphasise or engage in either while ignoring or failing in the other.’"
• Gospel-Centred Integral Mission in Acts
• Gospel-Centred Integral Mission Today
  "[Any local church community] should ask, ‘Are we ensuring that the gospel of God is central both to our verbal witness in the preaching and evangelism of the church, and also to our outreach in acts of love, compassion, service and justice in the community?"
