ROUND 3 — TUESDAY 1:00-3:00PM
How Every Local Church Can (and Must) Fuel Global Mission
Approximately 3 billion people have little to no access to the gospel today. That’s approximately 3 billion children, women, and men who are on a road that leads to eternal suffering, and no one has told them how to have eternal life in Jesus. God has called you and your local church to play a part in changing that. So what does that look like in practice? During this breakout with David Platt, John Piper, Ken Mbugua, J.D. Greear, Jairo Namnún, and other leaders from different perspectives, we will explore…
- To what extent every local church can (and must) fuel global mission.
- How to create and cultivate a culture of sending and going in your church.
- The role of the nations in reaching the nations, and how that changes the way we view different ethnicities in our local churches.
