You Have Permission Developing a Personal Mission Beyond the Walls of Church

What if I told you that God has a mission for you! A simple, unique and personal mission
unhampered by restrictive structures, systems and policies.
For over 30 years, Pete Cocco has served as a campus minister. He has observed thousands of
students being launched into personal missions from the university campus. In this collection of
stories and lessons learned from campus, he shares how everyone (including you) has a similar
personal mission. Most are just undeveloped. This book will take you through his discovery of a
five-stage process to develop your personal mission. Five distinct stages, all powered by one
common source-permission.

• Permission to Dream Big.
• Permission to be Armed and Dangerous.
• Permission to Flip the Script.
• Permission to Start Fires.
• Permission to Prioritize Play.

The hope is that this book will nudge you out beyond the institutional confines and into the
adventurous life you were created for.

Pete has a long history with launching people into personal missions from the college campus. He has been a pioneer coach to multiple ministries and organizations in over 10 countries. In addition to serving on an international steering committee, he also established campus ministries of his own in Hungary, China and the Philippines. Pete and his wife Paulette spent the majority of their ministry life at Illinois State University. It's here that he served as the campus minister for 22 years and together with his wife raised 5 kids. Pete now resides just outside of Raleigh North Carolina. He is the founder of Per Mission Inc and has co-founded the Diffuse Network for spiritual entrepreneurs. He loves all sports and enjoys long talks with the dreamers of the world. Also, it should be noted that he exercises just enough to keep from being embarrassed by his triathlete wife.
