INTRO TO MISSIONS

This is the audio from an introductory course on missions that a friend and I taught at our home church. In the eighth lesson, Aaron, my missionary friend in Morocco, discusses the vital work of exporting national pastors for ministry. How can ministry multiply? When is it time to release the local church to the national pastor? What is too quick and what is too slow? Is there a pattern in Paul and Timothy that we can follow?

This is the audio from an introductory course on missions that a friend and I taught at our home church. In the sixth lesson, Aaron, my missionary friend in Morocco, discusses the vital work of establishing believers. Aaron talks about the mission of the church and shows that it really cannot be reduced to anything less than reproducing ourselves in disciples who can disciple others. He then goes on to show how this work of reproducing ourselves is ultimately the most important work that we can involve ourselves in as ministers of the gospel. Finally, Aaron talks about some of the practical ways that we work to see new believers established in their faith. (1 hr. 2 min.)

This is the audio from an introductory course on missions that a missionary friend and I taught at our home church. Here in the fifth lesson we talk about efforts to evangelize cities. The first part of the talk centers on the advantages and challenges of church-planting in an urban context. The second talks about the Apostle Paul, his apparent preference for urban ministry (though it’s hardly the same as what we think of as urban), and the way he approached evangelism. Last, we ask what kinds of practical ways we can implement Paul’s example in the modern cities of the world.  (1 hr. 6 min.)

This is the audio from an introductory course on missions that a missionary friend and I taught at our home church. This is the fourth lesson in the course, and it attempts to provide a framework for measuring the need for the gospel around the world. We emphasize in this lesson that our efforts in missions should center on questions of supply, not on questions of demand. We then proceed to discuss which places in the world have high ‘unheard’ factors and what those places are generally like. (1 hr.)
