Hello! Hello! I am so glad you picked up this planner! That action means you want to take one more intentional step to living mission possible! If you haven't had a chance to read my book Mission Possible , let me share with you a bit about why I'm so passionate about this. Living a mission-possible life means executing the good works that God has already prepared for you to do. We can achieve this because of what Jesus did for us on the cross more than two thousand years ago. With the sacrifice He made and His power to trample over death, He equips us and walks with us as we live this kind of life. It's a life that counts because of what God has done and is doing through you. We are each on a mission to make a difference--to help the hurting, to reach the last, the lost, and the least. It looks different for everyone. It might take you on a rescue mission across the globe.

It might keep you home in your neighborhood, breathing life and spirit into your children or neighbors. When you are missiondriven, you use your ability and God's empowerment to help, serve, guide, teach, pray, and lead others in innumerable ways as unique as each person's DNA. I believe Scripture gives us one shared and large purpose, which is to glorify God. As believers, we honor and serve him with our lives, our natural gifts, our resources, our bodies, our worship, our decisions--the list is vast. If you've been a believer long enough, you have probably heard of the Great Commission. In Jesus's last instructions to His disciples, He commanded them to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20). I like to think of this command as marching orders for the church. Within that great purpose of glorifying God, we find our purpose in what we do every day--which is all about being mission-driven in our ordinary lives.

Let's take the first step, together, to living mission possible. Tim Tebow.
