We urge you in the Lord, again and again, to spare no labors and let no difficulties conquer them, but rather to become day by day more courageous and more valiant for arduous indeed is the task we propose.
—Pope Pius XI
In chapter 12 of Rebuilt, the authors share their approach to missions work using the term “restoration.”
“Restoration is a kingdom movement. When we join in mission service, we are joining in the movement of Christ’s kingdom, announcing and extending his lordship over the earth. Of course, this work will not be complete until the Lord comes in glory, but it has begun, and it is our responsibility to advance in his grace” (Rebuilt, 207).
Their goal was simply to make every member a minister. “Ministry is supposed to be a team sport” (Rebuilt, 191).
