Missonal is not in my MS Word Spellchecker


I was typing up a document in my MS Word the other day and I was using the word missional as a word, and my spell checker does not understand it.  I am trying to do ministry in Canton that is missional in approach versus attractional.  Attractional approach is when ministries try to make people attracted to them.  I find it too neurotic to be an attractional ministry.  I think we are called to go to other peoples comfort zones and become missional in how we relate Jesus.  If we are proud of our relationship with a loved one shouldn't we be comfortable to discuss it outside with others.  Church relationships seem to be only talked about inside the four walls of the church building.  Its like either we are embarrasse to discuss our relationships or its more of a secret club and to mention it outside the four walls would cause God to be mad at us.
