Seven Indicators of a Mission-Minded Life (5&6)

5. Creativity

People who appreciate the arts ~ visual, audio, drama... Those who are enthusiastic for life can look at even very difficult situations optimistically and so learn to respond creatively to the demands of the Church's mission. The Church needs creative people who are willing to take risks and try new things in their service, and so, touch people's lives in new ways.

6. Oriented Toward People

The mission life is one of encounter, meeting people of different backgrounds and cultures ~ entering in, forming friendships, working together, sharing the day-to-day experiences of God and Faith ~ of Life ~ growing both spiritually and humanly. This openness extends to our families, communities, workplaces, and wherever we find ourselves called to serve.
