Both/And: Reaching the Nations Locally and Globally (A Video)

By Tom Mills, Nov 23, 2021

Why must we go to the nations? There are cross-cultural needs right here in our own communities. We go because God has called us to go. In Acts 1:8 we see that the disciples were sent out to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. We know that the people from the nations came to Jerusalem at Pentecost, and yet the disciples were still sent out to these regions and to the uttermost parts of the earth. The command of Scripture to pray that the Lord of the Harvest would raise up laborers to go into the harvest. It’s exciting to respond to the opportunities God has given us to reach the nations here, but it’s not an either/or situation, it’s got to be a both/and.

Watch as MTW missionaries and national partners share their perspectives on the importance of missionaries continuing to go out and serve in global missions.

As we talked and prayed, we came to realize that our retirement was a unique opportunity to do something new for the kingdom.

Pray for national pastor Giotis Kantartzis and missionaries Philip and Kay Luther serving in Athens, Greece, as they work toward a vision of expansive church-planting in a region that is hungry for truth.

Pray for the people of Sydney, Australia, a city which has been described as "post-post Christian pagan." Pray that God would open eyes to the truth of the gospel.

Pray for college students around the world to be impacted through MTW’s partnership with RUF.

Pray today for the unreached living in Central Asia, as well as for the local believers and missionaries hoping to reach them. Pray for relationships and conversations of faith.

Pray for those who God is calling to missions, that God would clarify their call, and equip them to serve Him.

Pray for church-planting work to increase and bear much fruit in strategic cities around the world that are filling with diverse international populations.

Give thanks for the work God is doing in South Asia in the wake of COVID lockdown relief. Ask God to grow the new believers who came to faith in Christ as a result.

Pray that God would meet the needs of itinerating and long-serving missionaries, raising up their financial and prayer support.

Pray for the "Timothys" in Muslim-majority West Africa who are growing in their Christian faith and teaching others.
