Colossians 2:6 Questions: How do you respond when you hear that finishing the Great Commission is an attainable goal in our generation? How can every person play a role in global missions? What part can you play in reaching the unreached with the Gospel? What would it be like to not have access to the Bible? Are there people in your circle of influence who have never heard the Good News? What’s your plan? Why is it important to place evangelized people into faith communities? What does it mean to have a “desperate faith”? How does the persecution of believers across the world challenge our daily practice?
