What do you do to alert people to God through Jesus Christ (missional living)? Michael Frost has been practicing B.E.L.L.S. in everyday life. These are 5 doable practices you can do in your neighborhood:
In all these habits, you should practice these habits with one Jesus follower, one person of peace and for the final person either choose a believer in your community or a person of peace. Here are Frost's 5 missional habits:
Blessing - Bless 3 people through acts of generosity and kindness every week.
Eating - Eat with 3 people every week
Listening - Listen to the H.S.
Learning - Learn from Jesus by immersing yourself into his story.
Sent - Live as a sent one.

Scripture says,
Let your LIGHT shine before men in such a way they may see your good works and give glory to GOD (Mtt. 5:14-16)!
In Missional Essentials Brad Brisco and Lance Ford draw their cue for missional living (living as a Sent ONe) from this familiar passage. They developed a set of practices based on the word light. These five practices can be seen as a set of habits or a rhythm of life for you and your missional communities.
L - Listen to the Holy Spirit so He can lead and guide you to IDENTIFY people/places of peace.
I - INVITE people of peace to share a meal in order to demonstrate Christ hospitality/generosity.
G - GIVE a blessing by INVESTING in others through giving, encouraging, and serving.
H - Hear from the LIFE of JESUS through the GOSPEL stories to mature into HIS likeness.
T - Take inventory of the day as a SENT one to intentionally INCREASE the Kingdom of God.
