What are we here for?
Missio Dei is a Latin term meaning the mission of God, which refers to God sending the church to work on His behalf. Mission is derived from the Trinitarian nature of God, who sent His Son in the incarnation and Jesus, who sent the Holy Spirit to continue His work. God's purpose or mission is to redeem people into His family, and our mission flows from His.
Jesus sent the disciples to preach and demonstrate the Kingdom of God (Matt 10:5-8), and we are also sent (John 17:18) to make disciples, baptise and teach (Matt 28:18-20). There will be many challenges as we follow Jesus' mission (Matt 10:16-20), but we must be faithful despite the difficulties.
So what are we here for? We must obey God as he sends us on a mission, and we seek to fulfil DBC's vision.
