The heart of innovation in ministry is service, and its purpose is to bring people closer to Jesus. Ultimately, the joy of innovation is sharing in the blessings of transformed lives and faith.

Life Group Discussion:
How does the story of the Thai soccer team rescue illustrate the urgency of innovation in ministry, and how does that relate to the Church's mission to reach the lost?

When you think about the people in your life who don’t know Jesus, how can you innovate the way you interact with them to help bring them closer to salvation?
