This video series describes six ways to reach the peoples of His world: learning, praying, going, sending, welcoming and mobilizing. This is not a new idea. Other organizations and missions-minded people have similar descriptions.
However one tries to capture this idea, it is clear that we as Christians need to find our roles in God’s redemptive plan. Might God have you engage more deeply in one of these?
As you work through the questions after viewing the videos, ask the Lord to show you the ways He has uniquely gifted you for his purposes in the world.
