What is required for us to become a missionary congregation?

I have come across a series of articles entitled "What is required for us to become a missionary congregation?"

I think it's really worth reading. Here is an excerpt.

It is only as we are a living pulsing community of God's love to the world, living with Him as the centre, that we can be a sign, that we can not just bring the Gospel but live the Gospel. In order to do this our centre must be God Himself, we must be grounded in the Word and empowered by the Spirit. We must indwell the Scripture so that it becomes a part of us, so that it not only informs us but forms us. If we are the only way for the world to understand the truth of Christ then we must live this story in a way that both make sense to the world and yet points to something much greater than ourselves.

I like the author's call for us to be shaped by the Scripture, so that we may live out the story of Christ as we bear witness to the world.
