Challenge Accepted: California Churches Take on the 1% Challenge (VIDEO)

By Tom Mills, Jul 28, 2020

A few years back, MTW Coordinator Lloyd Kim challenged the PCA to pray that God would call an additional 1% of every congregation to serve as long-term global missionaries, whether with MTW or with another organization. In California, several churches answered that call with enthusiasm—doubling down on their pursuit of the Great Commission and making missions a major priority for their congregations.

In MTW's latest video, four California pastors challenge the PCA with practical ideas for mobilizing 1% of church members to global missions. We are excited to share this video with you, and hope that it serves as both a challenge and an encouragement.
