?
Missio dei is a Latin word which means:
“God being sent” / “the sending of God”

'God's mission' or 'the mission of God'
How did the term missio dei become so
popular?
• In 1934, Karl Hartenstein, mentioned this
idea - he respond Karl Barht’s lecture about
Trinitarian Mission

John 20:21,22
20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto
you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on
them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy
Ghost:
Some short
explanations about
missio dei
Missio dei
English God missions / the mission
of God
Dutch 'the missionary activity of
God' or 'God's mission',
'God's mission in Christ'
Germany ‘Mission for God’
1. Further emphasis we can see from the German and
Dutch contexts, where this refers not to “Ordinary
Missions”. Because this Mission is what God is
doing, the main character is God Himself.
2. The limited function of “Missio Dei” is for
mediation and communication, in
safeguarding: The Mission of God, God’s
Mission, and Mission for God
"It is not the church that
has a mission of salvation
to fulfill in the world; it is
the mission of the Son and
the Spirit through the
Father that includes the
church."

Jurgen Moltmann
Further, at the Willengen Conference, 1952:
"Even the Church is only an instrument
in the hands of God. The church herself
is only the outcome of the activity of
God who sends and saves.
“Mission is not primarily an
activity of the church, but
an attribute of God.
God is a missionary God.

 David J. Bosch
• God's mission in the world - to save the world in a special
relationship with the Godhead, namely the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• God the Father sent Jesus, and both (God and Jesus) sent the Holy
Spirit.
International Missionary Council (December, 28 1957 –
January, 8 1958)

"The Christian world mission


is Christ's, not ours"
Willingen Conference –
Expressions of ‘God’s mission’:
a. God and Compassion
God, in His compassion for mankind, is at
this moment transforming those who are
alienated from the world and without
happiness, to enter into His joy. It is
embodied in Christ, and will be accomplished
in Christ. We believe in this completion
through the Spirit, who calls us to share the
same mission and enables us to do so.
b. Rebellion of humans and demons
Confronted by human and demonic
rebellion, God works out his mission through
the shame of the Cross.
Willingen Conference – Expressions
of ‘God’s mission’:
c. By faith in Jesus Christ we perceive that God,
has chosen people who are nobodies to
share in his mission.
d. Church Involvement
The Church's involvement in God's mission
to the world is expressed in this discovery:
“That the closer the Church is to her Lord,
the closer she is to the world.”
e. It is the essential nature of the Church, to
realize and carry on the mission of God in
Christ.
f. This is about worship – a continual
representation of God’s own mission of love.
g. He will judge according to truth and
according to our faithfulness to His Mission.
Conclusion From our presentation are:
a. Those who see missio dei only 'merely participation', these
are people who fail to understand God's Mission. They are
reflecting 'missio Dei' or 'God's mission' in the wrong
direction.
b. Literally, 'missio dei', refers to what God does to humans
that is difficult for humans to understand: God, who is the
creator of all things, drowns himself on this earth as
a stranger, an abandoned person, an
outcast. In this world God took a very
special hidden path to die on the cross and
save us.
Our Critical View, as a calling in our ministry
(our group reflection) – based on this presentation:
 Never think of ourselves as a great figure in carrying out
the mission of salvation around the world. This is God's mission.
 Sometimes we think about who will be the next leader in our church
organization. We ask: Is he great? Is he smart? What was his
extraordinary experience that he could be chosen as a leader? We
realized that this thingking is wrong. Remember! The church is a
tool, leaders are tools, we are also tools. We are all God's missionary
tools for His missionary work.
 We must not think that: ‘The Church organization or the Lord will
lose me as a valuable asset if I am belittled or if I am not in this
ministry’. This is very wrong thinking. Even in the Bible, God can use
stones to speak on His behalf.

activities, but the essence of missio dei (God's mission) is “sending
ourselves to serve others”.
