"The pain and sin of the

world was and is so bad, that God put in motion the Missio Dei (mission of God) to send a Redeemer to disarm sin,

Satan, and set in motion a cosmic juggernaut of kingdom-

priests who would shrug off their own kingdoms and the

kingdom of darkness and work as salt and light to create a

city on a hill full of God’s blessing and wholeness. God’s

mission was to rescue the world and that mission is given

to us."  -The Righteous Brood: Making Your Family the Front Line of Mission, Hugh Halter (p 14)
