The Beginnings

Project: Mission

Parishes right across Ireland support mission financially, prayerfully and practically each year. Mission at home and abroad takes up much time, energy and money. It is my aim in this project to take a glimpse under the bonnet of churches who are involved mission overseas to get to the core of their belief as to what they are actually doing, what lessons they have learnt from their mission experience and interview individuals who have been involved .

This will be completed to include the core Biblical understanding of the Churches role in mission and evangelism

Understanding of the individual Christian’s role in God’s mission for the church

Looking at individual experiences of mission from parish life at home and abroad



Rationale
This project has grown out of my own involvement with the Church Mission Society Ireland (CMSI) on overseas teams as well as Mission teams at home with Crosslinks and Scripture Union Northern Ireland.

Aims
- To outline the theological concept of mission

- To discuss with individuals their perception of mission why they are involved in it

-
