missional
adj.— «Today’s missional Christians have expanded the mission of God to global warming, the environment, voting for the occasional democrat, serving the poor, building homes for Habitat for Humanity, giving away groceries to the poor, free ESL lessons, day-care for single mothers and more.…Maybe letting someone else be in charge and figuring out how to fit in is more “missional” than planting a church or starting a dialog group or leading someone to Christ?» —“Missional….Those emergents and their lingo” by Julie Bogart Julie Unplugged (Cincinatti, Ohio) July 3, 2007.
