Missions Focus Weekend | Erik Cooper

What if your work is actually worship? What if the meetings, spreadsheets, and projects you do every day aren’t separate from your calling but part of God’s mission for the world?

Before the fall, God placed Adam in the garden “to work it and keep it,” showing that work was His idea from the start. The Hebrew word avodah means work, worship, and service all at once. It reminds us that our daily labor is sacred.

When we see our jobs this way, our Mondays become an act of worship and our workplaces become mission fields. With so much of the world still unreached, our presence in the marketplace isn’t accidental. It’s part of God’s plan to bring His light into every corner of society.
