Introducing SendOne: A New Resource Library From ABWE. https://mailchi.mp/fd54ce627f9f/abwe-is-saying-thank-you-480297

If every U.S. church sent one missionary, every unreached people group could be engaged. ⠀ That’s why we’re launching a new online resource hub to help every ministry leader #SendOne. ⠀ Visit send-one.org to get equipped.

If you’re feeling stalled out on the road towards missions, there is an answer.

“Freedom of religion is a fruit of freedom in Christ.” Tune in to this week’s episode of The Missions Podcast.

“Regardless of the labels we use, let’s all determine afresh that we will follow our Lord and Savior to do our part in God’s mission.”

“We cannot afford to have Christ on our lips without Christ in our hearts.”

“Good contextualization first requires the ability to speak the local language and understand the local culture.”

“Even if they blow us up, Christ has already conquered. There is nothing to fear anymore!”

This week on The Missions Podcast, Dr. A. Charles Ware explains the racist roots of evolution, the gospel’s solution to prejudice, and the implications for missionaries.

“Don’t compromise. Don’t give up. Find a mission board that neither demands unreasonable conformity to obscure doctrine nor denies the fundamentals of the Christian faith.” — Josh Teis

“We must allow our theology of conversion to inform our missiology.” — Paul Davis

“Complaining and bitterness are infectious on the mission field. At the same time, joy and humility are as equally infectious.”

“If we find it difficult to believe that the Spirit of God could move so powerfully in the spiritual darkness of the Middle East, we are forgetting both God’s commitment to his own glory (Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 2:11) and the depth of our own darkness before Christ shone in us (2 Corinthians 4:6).”

This week on The Missions Podcast, Brooks Buser of Radius International explains the urgency of eternity—and of sound missions methodologies.

Are ordinary gospel preaching and worship sufficient to reach the lost in a predominantly Islamic town in Australia, frightened after the Christchurch shooting? Yes.

“The African continent has been called the dark continent. [But] I don’t really like that expression… there are great opportunities to take the gospel into take places and bring light.”

Pray for the spread of the gospel in the midst of civil unrest.

“Our family’s move to a new country was… exhilarating. But with this newness also comes doubt. Fear. Worry. It can drown out the reminders of our constant and loving Father who guides us every step of the way.”

Six Filipino pastors, all influenced by ABWE missionaries, visited the ABWE to share their stories with staff and partner with the EveryEthnē team. We are privileged to serve local churches like theirs.
