    Introduction to Missions 101

    Missions 101: Introduction

     This video will introduce you and/or your group to the curriculum you will need to be prepared for your Adventures in Missions trip, as well as to the interactive teaching model you’ll be following in your preparation.


    Video 1: How God Speaks

    Video #1: How God Speaks

     This video is about having a relationship with God and how conversation flows out of all relationships. God wants to speak to us, and we need to learn how to listen. In this teaching session, we want to first build a common understanding of how God speaks to us, and then how to discern what he is saying.


    Video 2: Listening Prayer

    Video #2: Listening Prayer

     This video is about moving from the different ways that God speaks to us to actively disciplining ourselves in listening prayer time.


    Video 3: Sharing Your Faith

    Video #3: Sharing Your Faith

     This video is about how to share your faith through a personal testimony. While everyone’s story is different, our job is to simply share what God has done.


    Video 4: Building Relationships

    Video #4: Building Relationships

     This video is about building relationships and how the community we share with one another affects those around us.


    Video 5: Ask the Lord

    Video #5: Ask the Lord

     This video is about what it means to know God intimately and how meaningful service flows out of that relationship. The best way to serve the Lord is to talk with him and listen.
