Welcome to our website! Everyone is familiar with the Great Commission, Christ commanding us to “make disciples of all nations.” We know the “hot spots” for mission work – Uganda, China, Somalia, Mexico, Brazil, Egypt, Iraq, India, Costa Rica, Belize, and on and on. Lost souls are here at home too, so we travel to Detroit, New York, Newark, Los Angles, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, and other cities to share the Good News with those who have given up hope. Finally, we spend time in our local communities witnessing to the homeless, the poor, the sick and others in need. And yet we often overlook one of the most promising mission opportunities – the workplace! That’s right, many of our friends and coworkers are lost. You don’t have to travel thousands of miles to win souls for Jesus – you can start at work! When you get up in the morning and head to work, never forget that you are on a mission trip!
In his new book, Grace in the Rat Race, GITW founder John Callahan asserts that Believers, in addition to living Holy Spirit-filled lives at work, must come to regard their office or job site as fertile ground for evangelizing and proclaiming God’s glory. Writes Callahan: “When you get up in the morning and head to work, never forget that you are on a mission trip.”

Be Inspired!
Remember, don’t let your attitude shape your day, let the presence of God in your day shape your attitude!
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” [Matthew 6:19-21]
This is the day that the Lord made for us; let’s rejoice and be glad in it!
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” [Hebrews 12:1-2]
Worship while you work!
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…”
[Colossians 3:23]
When you get up in the morning and head to work, never forget that you are on a mission trip!
