Explore is a seven-lesson study for small groups or individuals covering the basics of God's word, world, and work, helping students (or anyone!) gain a heart for the nations.
- GOD'S WORD: Journey from Genesis to Revelation seeing the recurring theme of God desiring worship from ALL people and mobilizing His people to be ambassadors for His name.
- GOD'S WORLD: Lesson 2 provides a quick overview of the major (THUMB) religious blocks, defines unreached people groups, and highlights the task remaining in helping all people have access to the Gospel.
- GOD'S WORK: Discover opportunities in global missions no matter your location or vocation through these 5 World Christian habits: Praying, Sending, Welcoming, Going, and Mobilizing.
How It's Used
This study is designed to introduce what we call “World Christian Habits.” World Christians are people who understand God’s heart for the world and strategically live their lives in such a way that wherever they are and whatever they do, they are working to see Him glorified among all nations.

Changed Life Story
"Gadi faithfully studied through Explore with a group of missionaries from the United States. After finishing the final chapter, Gadi said, 'Explore is the one of greatest tools I have read and studied about missions. In my opinion, it’s the summary of "misinologia": the biblical basis of mission.' She then proceeded to lead her own Explore studies online with over 75 students! As Gadi uses Explore to mobilize others, she has seen significant changes in people’s hearts, minds, and participation levels in missions. Two pastors who went through her Explore study began working in their churches to renew their visions for mission, and one young woman started a small group that writes and sends encouraging letters to women laboring in the mission field.
