✨ Word of the Week: Missionary Discipleship

How can we share the love of Jesus through our everyday actions? 💛

Missionary discipleship reminds us that faith is not something we keep to ourselves. Through our words, kindness, service and compassion, we are called to share Christ's love with others.

By living with joy and hope, we can help others encounter Jesus and make a positive difference in the world around us.

🙏 This week, challenge yourself to be a missionary disciple through one simple act of love, kindness or service.
