As missions pastors, directors, and coordinators, we carry the sacred responsibility of engaging our churches in God’s global mission. But if we’re honest, the weight of this calling can sometimes feel overwhelming. Have you ever found yourself asking, “Am I really where God wants me? Can I truly make a difference?”
If you’ve faced those questions, you’re not alone. Even the most seasoned missions leaders experience moments of doubt. The good news? You don’t have to stay there.
In this final video of our January series, we explore three transformative steps to rekindle your passion and clarity for 2025.
Key Takeaways from the Video
Renew Your Conviction
God’s heart for the nations hasn’t wavered, and neither has His calling on your life. Take time to revisit the promises that first stirred your heart for missions (Acts 13:2). Through prayer and Scripture, allow God to reignite the fire within you.
Strengthen Your Spiritual Vitality Your ministry flows from your relationship with Christ. Prioritize spiritual disciplines like prayer, reflection, and Sabbath rest. When you’re spiritually refreshed, you can lead with authenticity, inspiring your church to do the same.
Cultivate a Culture of Growth Missions isn’t a solo journey—it’s a shared calling. Equip your church to embrace the Great Commission alongside you. Create spaces where members can grow, connect, and discover their unique roles in God’s global mission.
