Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
