FOR SESSION #3
What About Missions?
OBJECTIVES OF THIS SESSION
- To help participants evaluate their concept of Christian missions.
- To help them understand what we mean by Christian World Missions.
- To explain the difference between missions and evangelism.
Many people picture a missionary wearing a pith helmet and preaching to natives who don’t understand him. Others imagine someone who tries to change the natives to look and act just like he does. Today we want to clarify some of those images.
- Open in prayer and ask the Lord to reveal to each one what he has for them.
