Being a Part of God's Work in the World: Learn

In the last missions post, we asked the question: How can we be involved in what God is doing in the world? In this post, let's look at one of the most basic ways: Learn. 

LEARN As a general rule, many many of us (including myself!) are not very familiar with what God is doing in the world or aware of other cultures and the spiritual needs of other people groups. One of the most basic ways of being involved in what God is doing around the world is simply learning. Whether that is learning about people in Asia, Africa, South America, or anywhere! The more we learn, the more we are equipped to pray for missions, and the more we understand the needs among other people groups.

Here are a few ways to Learn:

• Read a missionary biography (I will give you one for free if you will read it!).
• Take a Perspectives course.
• Check out books from the library on countries and cultures that interest you.
• Read info on unreached people groups from resources like joshuaproject.net.
• Pay attention to international news and pray about it.
• Spend time with internationals and ask them to tell you about their families and cultures.
