ACTION
- Take next steps in understanding who you are. Take the following test and read through the results. This will help you know your self better. Also, this will help you know the types of people you need around you. APEST, ENNEAGRAM, MYERS BRIGGS.
REFLECTION
- Reflect on how you are currently experiencing shared life. Who are you sharing life with? Are there others who are joining you in mission? You might all have a similar context (missionary team) or you might have different contexts (team of missionaries). How would you identify those on mission with you?
- Are there others who you need to invite in relationship with you?
- Who are a few people or families that you will invite into this journey with you? Begin praying for these people and any potential next steps with them. For some, you might need to begin praying that God would bring people into your life to go on mission with.
- How might an understanding of APEST impact they way you relate with those on mission with you?
