Chapter 1

Mission. The word itself conjures up different meanings to different people. Mission trip, mission statement, mission group, personal mission, missionary. The word could describe a place, an action, a group of people, a building, a personal or business goal, or even a person. To me, whenever I hear the word mission I think of missionaries and I think of highly spiritual people going into a foreign land, usually a very poor place, who teach the word of God as well as educate them in some way. I think of people who sacrifice the comforts of city life to live in huts in Africa and oftentimes die for the cause. I often think of old black and white movies such as the African Queen with Katherine Hepburn where the women are dressed in long sleeves and long skirts who are trying to teach the poor unfortunate natives that it is not good to be naked in the jungle. For some reason though, I always thought these people were amazingly strong and I wanted to be like them.
