Br. Raphie presents paper on Mission

It was a well prepared paper on the meaning of mission in OT and NT. The mission of Jesus given to him by his father. He mission was to proclaim and preach the good news. He practiced what he preached. The mission was to make known to the love of God.
He also spoke about the Franciscan and capuchin mission
Then he projected some of the challenges and difficulties in the mission
He also gave specific examples of missionary activities in the OT. Joseph was brought to Egypt
God called Moses and sent him to Egypt
For Naaman was sent to Syria
Prophet Elisha went to Damascus
Jonah to Ninevheh 
Jesus was sent by God in the power of the Holy Spirit
He was sent to proclaim good news
He was sent to enact good news to others
He was sent to form a community
He was sent to consummate the good news through the death and resurrection

Ad intra and ad extra
Be a Franciscan Capuchin Mission
Divine inspiration, life witness, fraternal dimension, minority, readiness to go where no one wants to go, mission orientated formation
