Christian churches who are committed to the Great Commission realize that there must be a balance between reaching out locally and reaching out around the world. But it’s not always easy to find that balance. What is the role of the pastor, and how can we go about finding a God-pleasing balance? If you are a part of a church, how have you dealt with this matter? Listen to Dr. Brown to get some perspective.

The prison situation in Colombia, South America is dark and dire. Violence and overcrowded conditions make it nearly hopeless.  But isn’t it just like God to enter into a dark situation like that to bring the bright light of hope?  Inmates are becoming pastors, violence is down, and Jesus is moving among the inmates with astounding results.  Many are coming to faith and are reconciling with their victims and their families.  Listen and be uplifted!

Missionaries around the world put everything on the line to follow God’s call to share His love and truth in a foreign land. Their stories of servanthood and sacrifice are inspirational and heart-tugging. Yet, they would all say there’s no way they could do what they do without the “invisible force”. Of course, missionaries pray for God’s daily enabling and guidance. But there’s another “invisible force” that they totally depend on. This one looks human.

Jesus finished His work on earth with His death and resurrection. Before returning to heaven, He gave an extraordinary assignment to His followers. “Go and make disciples of all nations.” It was his command to extend the best offer ever given. Invite people everywhere to trust and follow me, and I will change their life in every way for now and forever. Hear One Mission Society Global president put it in his own compelling words.
