Faith Formation Framework Series 3: Faith Applied Through Service and Justiceნიმუში

Everyday Mission

Focus

Breath Prayer: “Send me, Lord.”

Listen

Scripture: Matthew 5:14 (NRSV)
"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid."

Reflection:
Mission activity isn’t reserved for far-off places or special events. The mission field is right where we live—in schools, neighborhoods, workplaces, and families. Young people often imagine that serving God requires grand gestures. But small, everyday acts of kindness, courage, and witness carry deep power. Each smile offered, each word of encouragement spoken, each act of standing up for what is right—all these reflect God’s light into a world hungry for hope. The invitation is simple: carry God’s light everywhere you go.

Apply

How can you help a young person recognize their daily life as a place of mission?

Respond

Jesus, shine through us. Teach young people to live boldly as your light in every place they go. May their everyday lives reflect your kingdom breaking into the world.
