80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

Extended Leaders Guide: Parenting with a Global Vision

As a ministry worker, raising support can be a daunting task. It doesn't have to be intimidating though. It isn't about money or asking people to give. It is about looking to God to provide for you. He has given you a vision for ministry, and now you get to invite others into that vision. Your job is to pray and work hard to discover those whom the Lord has already prepared to invest in you and your ministry. God has done His work. Now it's time for you to do yours.
A case in point: Nehemiah was very nervous about meeting with the wealthiest, most powerful man on the planet. He was asking King Artaxerxes to fund his Jerusalem restoration project. But when it came time to make his appeal, this lowly cupbearer first looked up to the Person who really provides resources. At the moment of truth, Nehemiah lifted his heart and made The God Ask. In Nehemiah 2:4 he describes the exchange: "Then the king said to me, 'What would you request?' So I prayed to the God of heaven."
Instead of going into appointments fearing what your fellow man will say, you can have confidence that God is superintending the whole process. This book will help you embrace the fact that this is not a Man Ask. No. It is a God Ask!

This book provides a fresh, biblical approach to personal support raising that will help you embrace appointments with confidence!

Welcoming the Nations Among Us&nbsp;is a 6-lesson study inviting believers to explore welcoming others for God&rsquo;s glory. Welcoming is more than being friendly. It is the lifestyle of a person prioritizing God&rsquo;s mission to &ldquo;make disciples of all&nbsp;nations.&rdquo; A welcomer gets involved with those around them from different cultures, developing genuine cross-cultural friendships, selflessly serving, and always being&nbsp;ready to share Jesus with others. Our Father has always been a welcomer and has a role for each of us to play in joining Him.&nbsp;Welcoming&nbsp;participants will explore:
<ul>
<li>The realities of migrants and near neighbors around them&nbsp;</li>
<li>Their own obstacles to reaching out cross-culturally</li>
<li>Practical steps they can take to start welcoming</li>
</ul>

College: A four-year (or more!) window of time where a student can become and accomplish all that God has for them. This book will help you do just that as you discover a vision for your life, the kind of personal and spiritual foundation you need to build, and practical ways to share your faith, disciple others, and impact the world for Jesus Christ. The challenge? If you will fully submit yourself to the Lord to be the fuel, God will ignite your life and spread the flame of the gospel across your campus and world. So beware, what you hold in your hands may forever change you. You in?
Our goal in this book is to focus on a few of the simple commands and modeling Jesus provided us. We hope that God uses the basics of evangelism, disciple-making, and mission mobilization shared in this book to transform your everyday life and change your heart to be more like His own.
So, if you want to walk with God more closely, have a vision for your life and ministry, develop a practical plan for you to lead others to Christ and make disciples, and to impact the world for the glory of God&hellip; you&rsquo;ve come to the right place! Read this on your own. Or take a small group through it. Encourage your whole college ministry to use it as their semester training tool or summer project book.
