Raising the temperature for local church mission
We want to recommend to you a podcast series that Reach Australia has produced which is focused on the job of mission in the local church. This is such an important topic!
"If the question ʻhow will we see the most people in our region converted to Christ?ʼ is not being answered as a matter of priority in your churchʼs calendar, staffing and vision for the future, then it will quickly slip into insignificance."
There are six episodes (Podcast 21.1 to 21.6, plus an introductory episode), and the content is excellent and very practical - coming as it does from three practitioners with real runs on the board in leading church mission (Dave Jensen, Jo Clark and Dave Robertson). There's also a free downloadable book to accompany the series.
