How can we effectively bring the gospel to a city as vast and diverse as Delhi, India? In this episode, we tackle this question head-on by exploring the critical need for a well-rounded mission strategy rooted in Acts 1:8. We delve into the importance of diverse ministries, from medical missions to printing, while placing a significant emphasis on church planting. We also discuss the necessity of supporting missionaries personally and choosing the right individuals, ensuring a holistic approach to spreading the gospel worldwide.
Moreover, we'll break down the essential concepts of "church" and "church planting" in the context of missionary work, advocating for extensive, multi-year training for pastors. You'll hear why starting ministries in major cities is crucial, but so is supporting rural areas for a balanced approach. We also touch on the dangers of mission fads and the importance of sustaining a comprehensive strategy. Tune in to be inspired by updates on current projects, including new book releases and invitations to speak at family conferences, aimed at empowering you to fulfill your God-given calling.
