This two-part series establishes a simple claim: the church is the beginning and end of missions. It is through the local church that the Holy Spirit sends out his workers. When God works through them the result is local churches that bear his name. Acts 14:19–28 sets our attention on that lofty goal of starting, strengthening, and ultimately leaving behind local churches that carry the work forward. Listen as we consider how the goal of global church planting shapes our missions aims and plans.
