The Christmas On A Mission Vision
The Christmas On A Mission Vision
Christmas is a season we look forward to, but if we’re honest, it doesn’t always live up to our hopes. Corporations work hard to convince us that we need more to be satisfied. Family expectations go unmet. Nostalgia leaves us longing for a Christmas that may never have existed quite the way we remember it. And sometimes, grief, loss, or disappointment overshadow the joy of the season.
It always feels like there’s a lot riding on the season.
What if Christmas never quite lives up to our expectations because we’ve got our focus in the wrong place?
Christmas on a Mission is a call back to God’s plan for the season. He wasn’t trying to whip up warm and fuzzy feelings, or add some new traditions to our calendar. He was working on a plan to “seek and save the lost”.
That mission didn’t end with the first Christmas. It continues today, and we’ve each been invited to be part of it.
The mission of Christmas is still ongoing today, and we’ve all been called to be part of it.
Daily Readings and Prayer Prompts
Daily Readings and Prayer Prompts
The core of the challenge is to spend take a few moments each day to be in God's Word and prayer. This is a habit already for some, but for others taking this simple step could change your season, and maybe your life.

We want to challenge families or small groups to take intentional time together with God during the season. We need each other, and when we gather in His name, God is with us.

Bring someone from your circle with you to a church service during the challenge. This could be a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor. Step out and make the ask, and see what God does!

These aren't random at all! Pray and ask God to show you a unique way to serve or bless someone you don’t know well. It doesn’t have to be Christmas-themed at all! The goal is to show someone the love of Jesus in a practical way.
