Mission in Motion
Mission in Motion is a course for Salvation Army officers, soldiers, employees, leaders and volunteers who are seeking a fresh mission and ministry expression in a local setting.
Mission in Motion provides simple and practical tools for engaging with people in a fresh, intentional way. Five inspiring modules will guide you through the process of determining and responding to a community's longing or need.
Rooted in the story of Jesus and the woman at the well (John 4:1-42), Mission in Motion is an invitation to listen to the Spirit and to discover how God’s Kingdom mission is unfolding in your local setting.
Mission in Motion is designed for a team of three to eight people committed to working together in a single local setting.
The team needs to meet together in person.
