Title: Global Missions Is For Everyone

Our church desires to fulfil the Great Commission and this includes bringing the Gospel to the nations. What are some of our core beliefs regarding global missions?

General Questions:

  1. What is global missions to you? How relevant is it to you in your current life station and why?

Perspective Questions:

  1. The Lausanne Covenant (1974) declared that “World evangelisation requires the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.” By extension, every member in every church should be missions minded. How does this challenge your view on global missions? Have we excluded ourselves from the work of world evangelisation for various reasons? Why?
  2. How have some believers re-defined or diluted missions according to their personal preference (e.g. community work)? What are the dangers in doing so?

Application Questions:

  1. The more we value the Gospel, the greater our desire will be to fulfil the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-2). No matter where you are at in your missions journey, what is a first or next step you can take to participate in God’s global mission?
  2. How do you think going for a Short Term Mission (STM) trip as a lifegroup will change or enrich the LG? If your LG embarks on a STM trip in the next 1-2 years, how can you contribute?

Title: Look Far – God’s Heart for the Nations
Series: Neighbours to Nations
Text: Revelation 5:9-10

God’s heart is for people of all nations to come into a faith relationship with Him. How can we participate in this global purpose of God?

General Questions:

  1. Have you been involved in global missions in any way, either long or short term, directly or indirectly? What are your experiences like? What motivates you to want to be involved in missions?

Perspective Questions:

  1. If not for missionaries who took the step of faith to come to Singapore since the 1800s, Christianity would not have reached and stayed on Singapore’s shores. What should our response be to God who placed a tiny country like Singapore into the hearts of many of His faithful followers, such that they would leave their homelands and travel round the globe to share the love of Jesus with the people here? What can we learn from their examples?

  2. What are some fears or concerns that believers may have that hinder them from getting involved in missions?

  3. The missions field is full of happy stories of people coming to know God and also sad tales of people rejecting or leaving God. How does knowing that God is on the throne (Rev 5:1) help us to face the triumphs and tragedies we see on the missions field?

Application Questions:

  1. What are various ways you and your LG can be involved in missions? What are the practical steps that you want to take to prepare yourself or start to get involved?
