Missions
​(Global Disciple Making)

Welcome to the Missions class.
​
The first part of this class includes choosing any two missionary biographies from a set that includes over forty selections. We hope you are encouraged by what you read and continue to read more on your own. 

The next several lessons focus on reading a book that is designed to help the reader become familiar with God's plan to bless the nations by using ordinary Christians. 

The last portion of the class is devoted to exploring the five major catagories of unreached peoples in a unique format designed for indiviaul or small group use. 


Unless a lesson is defined by a specific reading assignment or activity, spend two hours to complete each lesson. 
Preach the Good News where the name of Jesus Christ has never been heard. Romans 15:20
