Your paper should explore the following questions:

(i.e., Trinity, ecclesiology). • In 1.5–2 pages address: what are 2 key themes or motifs of mission theology? (i.e., Kingdom of God, shalom). • In a final concluding page, discuss how mission theology relates to (1) a missionary (2) church leaders (3) lay people not in full-time ministry.
