I can personally testify that the church’s involvement in global mission is life-giving to the sending church. At CTK because of our cross-cultural worker relationships our prayer life is more vibrant, our vision is keen for the lost, and we are reminded weekly that God’s purposes are global.  Regular communication, prayer, and advocacy for the unreached have changed the way we worship and the way we think about our own community. Not all are called to go, but all of us are called to participate in God’s Global Mission.

Fr. Richard and Martha Menees are strengthening the Church in Kigezi, Uganda, through leadership development, education, and mercy ministries.

While all believers are on mission, the how and where look differently. Some are called to leave homes, land, and families and go to distant places. This usually requires learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. If you’ve never tried it, this is not an easy task! It can be quite humiliating and overwhelming even for those who enjoy the challenge; and not all do. This definitely requires the Holy Spirit’s power! I would suggest that it is also a perfect opportunity for the Body of Christ to respond to Jesus’s command by offering support to the cross-cultural missionaries’ language and culture learning.

What causes people who have known the power and presence of the living God to stop following Him?

According to Moses, it begins with complacency…when God’s people forget to honour Him as the Father who lovingly formed and watched over them and instead relegate the Almighty Creator and Saviour to the sidelines of their lives.

That is not only ancient Israel’s story; it is Europe’s story. Once the cradle of the Reformation, Europe is now a mission field. The Netherlands, where Louise and I serve, is a vivid example of what happens when nations that once knew God slowly forget Him.

The kingdom of God is a great harvest, and through the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS), believers are invited to join in their global work. SAMS supports and sends missionaries to share the Gospel across cultures and contexts. Together with global church leaders, missionaries serve as co-laborers, strengthened through shared wisdom and purpose. As the harvest remains plentiful, SAMS calls the Church to pray for and raise up new workers to bring the hope of Christ to every nation.

After spending a couple of weeks in Thailand this January, I had the opportunity to stopover in Laos for a few days on my back to Pittsburgh.

As Christians, we are all called to be mission-minded, seeing ourselves as everyday missionaries wherever we happen to live and at whatever life stage we happen to be.

February 10, 2019, is one of the most potent days in our coming year: “Anglican World Mission Sunday.”

The recently launched Anglican International Student Ministry Network (AISMN) held its first conference to connect Anglicans seeking to reach the 1.6 million international students currently in North America.

Strolling along the beautiful water behind her picturesque Savannah home one evening, Carol Rogers Smith had an encounter with Christ. She knew in that quiet moment God had called her to serve His people.

“The low temperature on the East coast will be colder than the high temperature on Mars this weekend,” Nate shared while driving with our fellows to run some errands before our departure to Thailand the next day.
