Disciples--Missionary Disciples “Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization; indeed, anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love. Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she has encountered the love of God in Christ Jesus: we no longer say that we are ‘disciples’ and ‘missionaries’, but rather that we are always ‘missionary disciples’” Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
We are on a mission
On Portland Street Preach the Gospel with your life--without compromise! Listen to the spirit. He will lead you. Do little things exceedingly well for love of Me. Love, love, love, never counting the cost. Go into the marketplace and stay with Me. Pray, fast, Pray always, fast. Be hidden. Be a light to your neighbor’s feet. Go without fears into the depths of men’s hearts. I shall be with you
