Skye Jethani, wrote an article entitled “Mission and Recession”
1) It would mean helping people to see the missional dignity of ordinary work; communicating that their jobs matter to Christ and his kingdom, not just what happens within the walls of the church.

2) It would mean elevating the role of family and household relationships as vehicles for spiritual growth and missional engagement.

3) It would mean not extracting people from their lives and communities to engage in church programming, but equipping them to live in communion with Christ within the context he has placed them.

4) It would shift the focus of Sunday worship away from mission and outreach to a time of celebration and encouragement for Christians who are engaged in mission the other six days of the week.

5) It would mean an adjustment in what the church counts as growth-not only institutional expansion or programmatic growth, but stories of ordinary people, faithful to Christ, at home, at work, at school and everywhere life happens.
