GoMission: Let's Go!

23 minutes

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore talks with Brother Fletcher about God’s call on his life toward Bible translation, unreached people groups, and practical involvement in the Great Commission. Fletcher shares how God moved him from living for himself to surrendering to help reach the unreached, and how the Lord gave both direction and desire as he yielded to God’s plan.

The conversation also introduces Go Steps, a practical stream of ideas, testimonies, and encouragement designed to help young people take meaningful steps in missions right now. Whether through prayer, encouragement, adopting a people group, sharing testimonies, or simply refusing to get distracted from God’s call, every young person can take a step forward in the Great Commission.

Topics Discussed

Surrendering personal dreams to reach the unreached

Key Takeaways

God’s will is not a miserable backup plan. When a young person yields to the Lord, God can give joy, desire, and fulfillment in the very calling that once seemed intimidating.

You do not have to wait until you are on a foreign field to be involved in the Great Commission. God has placed you in a mission field right now, with friends, family, church, and opportunities already in front of you.

Many young people care about missions, but they do not always know what to do next. Go Steps exists to help turn burden into obedience by giving practical ideas and encouragement for taking the next step.

Prayer is not a small part of missions. When you pray for unreached people, God can move in ways you may not fully see until eternity.

Satan wants young people to get burdened about the lost and then get distracted by the rest of life. The answer is to keep remembering your calling, take the next step, and stay on mission with Jesus.
