Geo Acts

Jonah is tasked with sharing the meaning, purpose, and pattern of mission. The meaning involves spreading God's message. The purpose is both internal, through edifying believers, and external through evangelism. The pattern follows an inward-outward model moving from self, to close relationships, familiar acquaintances, social contacts, community groups, and finally countries/people groups. Spiritual gifts are among the tools used in mission.
