This is the season when you start evaluating the years you’ve lived and making hopes and changes about the years to come. Maybe you’ve made resolutions before, only to watch them fall by the wayside. It’s not that you didn’t really mean it – you just didn’t have the resources to help you follow through with your good intentions.
Don’t let that be true this year – especially if your goal is to align your heart with God’s purpose for the nations! Here are six ways Team Expansion wants to equip you to multiple disciples and churches among the unreached.
- Join the Prayer Force.
Every day, Team Expansion’s prayer team sends out an email with specific needs from around the world. Begin your missions resolution with daily, intentional prayer that God would move in the places currently consumed by darkness. You can sign up today at https://teamexpansion.org/pray/
- Take a Challenge.
Need help living with missions in mind? Sign up at Moredisciples.com for a 30-day challenge that equips you to share your faith, while also offering you resources, activities, and goals. The only thing you have to lose is your insecurity.
- Invest in Spreading the Gospel.
Jesus made no apologies when He explained that the location of your treasure was tied directly to the state of your heart. If you want to change your heart to reflect God’s heart for the nations, you need to make sure you’re giving toward that goal. You can set up one-time or monthly recurring gifts toward Team Expansion at https://teamexpansion.org/give
- Expand Your Worldview.
Do you really understand how much God loves the world – the whole world? Did you know the Old and New Testaments are full of commands to bless the nations and insights into God’s big picture? Attend a Kairos Course and grab on to God’s heart for the nations – and what that means for you! Find a course near you at http://www.kairoscourse.org/
- Go on a Retreat.
Several times each year, Team Expansion hosts prayer retreats at Emerald Hills, our 61-acre campus. Join like-minded believers in a weekend full of worship, prayer for the nations, and deliberate seeking about your role in the Kingdom. Watch for the next retreat at http://prayerweekend.com/
- Get Your Feet Wet.
If you’re a little more ready to take a step into missions, we’d love to help you. Nothing replaces first-hand experience. Whether you’re wanting to make a journey to pray with and encourage fielded missionaries, spend as summer as an intern with a team, or commit to an apprenticeship and experience true life, day-to-day cross-cultural ministry, we’re ready to walk you through that process. You can start the journey by filling out a no-obligation profile at https://teamexpansion.org/profile
