My mission

‘As you go, proclaim the good news’ suggests an all-embracing mission, a way of life. Jesus prepares the disciples, who are to take little with them, about how to respond to be being accepted or rejected. There is another side to mission. Travelling disciples are to depend on hospitality which implies stay-at-home disciples who are also on mission, that of hospitality and support. How do I enter into the all-embracing mission of Jesus as a disciple?
