Don’t settle down to be comfortable, middle-class Americans. We are called to a wartime lifestyle of simplicity with a world missions orientation. There are three possibilities: We can be goers, senders, or disobedient.
–John Piper
It is certainly more easy to spend our lives on ourselves, but that is not the calling that God has placed on our lives. We are to pray, send, and go in a lifestyle of radical obedience… spending and being spent for Him.
This year…
Pray for missions (for yourself to serve, for others on mission, and for those without Christ).
Send others to engage in missions (through your finances).
Go as a missionary (across the street to your closest neighbor and across the world to your furthest neighbor).
