Both And

I recently told someone "Well, you know, some people consider mission standing on a corner and preaching with a loud speaker, others consider mission opening a homeless shelter." I guess I was trying to make it sound like the definition of mission is inclusive of many different perspectives, but in the end I think I portrayed the precise definition of mission as either trivial or elusive.

Mission is not a choice between evangelism OR social concern. Mission is not a choice between articulating one's faith OR acting out one's faith. Mission really has to be both.
