Episode notes
INSIGHT

Church Is Inherently Missionary

  • The church is inherently missionary, always sent out to spread the gospel.
  • Mission is not a solitary act but done in community for mutual support and correction.
ADVICE

Make Prayer Central to Mission

  • Do not attempt to do mission work without prayer; ask the Lord to send workers to the harvest.
  • Prayer is essential and the life blood of church work; without it, efforts will fail.
ADVICE

Trust God Over Material Supports

  • Trust completely in God's providence by letting go of material supports before mission.
  • Rely on invisible support through prayer and faith, not on physical or financial resources.
