Missions Sunday | Urgency for the unreached and our call to make disciples

Описание: Join us as we study the biblical basis for missions and the foundation for the great commission, advocate for urgency to finish the task with unreached people groups, and discuss the call to make disciples locally and on the frontier. Read below for next steps!

Ready to go to the unreached?
There are many great missions agencies out there and one we have partnered with is LiveDead.
We're confident they can train you to plant churches in the frontier.
Contact them at https://www.livedead.org/
Live Dead is committed to taking the church where it does not exist. We are committed to making a difference in the statistic that 40% of the world lives without access to Christ. Live Dead’s strategy to execute this vision is to plant churches among unreached people groups through multi-national teams. Whatever our engagement, our goal is churches.

Ready to make your hometown your mission field?
Here are a few books we believe will give you vision on how to do this:
1. Building a Discipling Culture by Mike Breen
2. Multiply by Francis Chan
3. Radical by David Platt
4. Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman

Ways to compare countries by most need for missions work:
% Christian in USA https://joshuaproject.net/countries/us
% Christian in Iraq https://joshuaproject.net/countries/IZ
When praying about where to go or invest in missions it's advised to use the resources above, then first aim towards countries which have less than 2% evangelical population.
