5 Resources to Help Your Church Grow in Missions

Every church has a part to play in bringing the hope of Christ to the world. With 6,600 people groups worldwide in need of the gospel, each believer is crucial to fulfilling God’s global mission.
And yet, many churches struggle to see their congregations excited about reaching the nations for Christ. It can feel discouraging when the only people who are passionate about missions seem to be the people on the missions committee.
At OMF, we believe all churches have the potential to make a global impact for God’s kingdom. That’s why we want to give churches every opportunity to educate, inspire and equip their entire congregations to see the beauty and privilege of the Great Commission.
Below is a list of resources that can help your church grow in its passion and involvement in missions. Some of these resources are applicable for churches with a heart for any part of the world. Other resources are catered toward churches with a focus on the unreached in East Asia. But whatever your church’s passion or personality, these resources offer something for you.

1. 6 Ways to Reach God’s World – These six short videos and accompanying discussion questions offer practical ideas for missions involvement. Learning about the “6 Ways” has empowered many people to realize how they can use their unique skills and passions to reach the world for Christ.
