Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC, tweeted this today:

Your zip code is your mission field.

I wish I could think of catchy statements like that, but if I can't (and I can't), I'm glad Mark did and put it out there for the Twitter world. It captures the essence of Nativity Crowne Plaza, launching this Sunday morning.  

It is easier for me to think about the mission field being another country, even another city or another cultural experience.  It is hard for me to want to talk about Christ in my own cultural experience (suburban lawyer/mom world), with neighbors, friends and family. It is a real struggle, but evangelization in Scripture is just that: telling those you meet in your everyday life about your experience with Christ. 

I know a lady named Mary, and she knows her mission field. She has an easygoing way of telling her friends about her faith and her church, and inviting people to check it out. My goal is to be more like Mary.

If your zip code is your mission field, what kind of missionary are you? Are you one at all?

Why not?
