In this week’s #GreatCommission Recap, we have part two of Steve Addison’s The Rise and Fall of Movements and Ryan Martin’s questions for prospective missionaries, along with some exciting upcoming events.
This week’s articles:
Steve Addison: Leading Through the Lifecycle of Movements
In the second part of Steve Addison’s “The Rise and Fall of Movements” Symposium, he discusses the lifecycle of movements.
“We may get results but lose who we are. When methods become our identity, the only way to renew movements it to get back to who we are – to the life and ministry of Jesus.”
What Are You Doing Now? The Real Question to Ask Prospective Missionaries
Ryan Martin offers helpful and though-provoking questions for both prospective missionaries and their churches.
“The question though, for those considering cross-cultural ministry, shouldn’t first be ‘what’s next?’, but ‘what am I doing now?’. If the glory of God is the aim of missions, and the local church is the engine of the Great Commission (see Eph. 3:10), then are you invested as a meaningful member of your local church?”
