520 |a We do not so much see images as see through images, writes theologian John Shea. Taking this insight, this article explores eight images of the missionary and through them comes to an understanding of mission itself. Images explored are those of (1) treasure hunter, (2) teacher, (3) prophet, (4) guest, (5) stranger, (6) partner, (7) migrant worker, and (8) ghost.Mission is understood not as a mere communication of a content, but as an invitation to search for what is already hidden in a culture. It has the courage to preach God's good, though sometimes challenging, news in season and out of season. It works through the gratefulness of a guest, the challenge of the stranger, the encouragement of the equal partner. It is concerned not with rights and prestige and recognition, but with the good of human beings. Ultimately, mission prolongs God's incarnation by continuing to make visible God's consoling and transforming love.
