The Remnant Mission is a community of Anglicans who are committed to praying and fasting for our common mission. The Remnant Mission provides support to churches and missions that are committed to applying Remnant Theology principles by sharing stories and experiences and offering practical advice and encouragement.
The Remnant approach to mission begins with a commitment to personal spiritual formation and prayer. Mission grows out of formation as we share our experience of Christ by inviting others to join us in the life of prayer in community. The emphasis is on the call to discipleship rather than on marketing to religious consumers. Remnant evangelism is rooted in biblical hospitality. The focus is on building relationships rather than on a one time experience of conversion.
*A missionary is someone who is called by God to be present in a place for the benefit of others. A missionary has a vocation to mission. A missionary will continue to work and pray and give for the spread of the kingdom in a place even when the mission efforts encounter obstacles and are not immediately fruitful. A missionary has a genuine love for people and genuine desire to share faith in Jesus with them.
