A few years ago, when I was going to school at Dallas Baptist University, I was selected to attend a conference called CASL (Christian Association of Student Leaders). One of the seminars I attended was lead by a young married missionary couple. I expected the seminar to be about their adventures as missionaries, how they raise their funds, their successes and hardships... and they did! I didn't expect them to tell us they were missionaries in a nearby college town.

The whole point of their message was to live your whole life missionally. You don't have to save up for a mission trip overseas, you don't have to donate a week of your time to build wells, you don't have to spend every waking moment at the homeless shelter. Those things are all AMAZING and by all means, do that!

But the truth is, a lot of our days are full of the mundane tasks of daily life. Even so, that shouldn't keep us from living missional lives.

I've kept this handout from this seminar all these years because it still resonates with me.

You have to eat. Why not eat with a non-Christian? You have to go places. Why not walk and interact with your community face to face? You have to get gas, groceries, haircuts, etc. Why not be a regular at those places you go and develop relationships with the people around you? You have hobbies. Why not have fun doing your hobby with someone else? You have co-workers. Why not talk to and pray for them? You have a community with needs. Why not help? You live in a city with events. Why not attend those events? You have neighbors. Why not love on them?

These are easy things to incorporate into your lifestyle. There's no good reason NOT to live missionally.
