The World Mission Update

The Great Commission Update - Persecution - Part 2

There are some very hostile locations in the world and we want to take you there over 2 episodes.

Today on the Great Commission Update, Rusty Humphries and Greg Kelley continue to dig into one of the most challenging mission fields in the world.

Persecution of Christians in Northern Nigeria is a daily reality. Many of the northern states operate under sharia law while Boko Haram continues to cause havoc.

Despite these challenges, the Church is growing and loving those who persecute them!

God Bless, Greg

Our Mission

World Mission delivers the Word of God in audio format to oral learners living in unreached people groups. We believe that it is our responsibility as Christians to follow the Great Commission, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19-20). While it is always our desire to reach everyone, anywhere, we specifically focus our efforts on reaching the Unreached; those throughout the world who have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel and accept Jesus Christ. Core Values Prayerfully led by the Word of God and following the Holy Spirit's leading, our ultimate objective is to fulfill the Great Commission by seeing the lost develop a meaningful relationship with Christ. We strive to be focused and disciplined; fulfilling our mission will always receive the best of our time, energy and resources. We seek to always maintain positive attitudes, building team members up and never speaking thoughtless words about one another. We believe the gospel is most effectively presented in a holistic context and that national leaders led by the Holy Spirit are the most effective ground laborers to implement our mission and engage unreached peoples. We welcome volunteers who are led to serve at World Mission and will provide a positive environment for them to use their gifts.

The Great Commission Update - Culture Is King

#Jesus #GreatCommissionPodcast #WorldMission

Culture is king! Being a part of the culture without compromising the gospel message requires intentional behavior from missionaries. Rusty Humphries and Greg Kelley are talking about how the Treasure (avail in over 5,000 languages!) is engaging closed cultures with the gospel.

Great Commission Update - National Partners

Greg Kelley and Rusty Humphries talk about using national leaders in the mission field. The difference between western missionaries and those from the same culture. World Mission has a network of 30 national leaders but also sees strategic importance for cross-cultural workers.

You'll meet students from a refugee camp in Tanzania that graduated from a World Mission training program.

It is hard to believe that there are any Christians yet 6 new Christians were baptized this past week in this unreached area. Finally, we are talking about the ways God is opening the door in the disaster-prone country of the Philippines. Despite 4 recent 6.0+ earthquakes, the gospel is going forward through World Mission national leaders!

The Great Commission Update - The Persecuted Church

Today Greg Kelley and Rusty Humphries talk about a hot topic that every Christian should have awareness about. The Persecuted Church. To realize 1 in every 9 followers of Jesus are living a persecuted life is almost unbelievable. Yet, Jesus and Paul both told us that we should expect persecution. In Matthew 5:10 Jesus said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

The persecuted church would want you to pray for them to have courage and boldness NOT to be protected from being persecuted. Let's stand with our brothers and sisters around the world! God Bless, Greg

Disciples Among Displaced People How do you make disciples when your life is interrupted due to war, violence and/or persecution? For thousands of people every month, that is their reality. Rusty Humphries and Greg Kelley are talking about the strategy World Mission implements to impact these precious people. Many of them do not have access to the gospel yet we are called to go and share the Good News. God Bless, Greg Greg Kelley CEO/Executive Director WorldMission.cc

Rusty Humphries and Greg Kelley are talking about how current natural disasters are creating unique opportunities to share the gospel with unreached people groups. Northern Kenya is in the midst of ongoing drought conditions. The nearly dozen different people groups are primarily pastoralists (raising animals such as goats, sheep, and camel) and depend upon these animals for their survival. World Mission is drilling water wells to help provide clean water while also sharing the solar-powered Treasure in many languages so they can hear about the love of Christ.

Meanwhile in India, the conditions are very different. Historic flooding has taken the lives of over 200 people in the state of Bihar. This state has over 110 million people and is less than 1% Christian. Showing compassion by providing basic survival resources of food and water is opening the door for the gospel to be shared!
