Thanks for your questions. As to the secon...Brad,<br /><br />Thanks for your questions. As to the second, in short, I think the mission is to make disciples and the first part of making disciples is to evangelize them. Seems pretty clear from the book of Acts. <br /><br />Sorry, if my article was confusing. I honestly believe the exact opposite of what you wrote! :) So I think we are on the same page. <br /><br />ZachVitamin Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327369978082172135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21365935.post-9017226632230751992014-01-02T17:29:33.847-06:002014-01-02T17:29:33.847-06:00Hi Zach,

When I read this article it sounded like you were equating mission with the projects and programs of the church. In other words, it sounded like the church leaders are to set out the vision and structure (programs and projects) of the church and then try to get the laypeople to buy in instead of equipping, sending and teaching the lay people to make disciples. These seem like they could be two very different things. How do you keep them as one?<br /><br />One other question. I attend a very "missional" church, but I have noticed that mission is not the same thing as disciples making disciples or evangelism. Do you have any thoughts on the relationship between the three? <br /><br />Thanks!<br />Brad Bradnoreply@blogger.com
