Learning About Missions

2004

Go to GCC 2005

I will begin a personal study in order to better understand the Great Commission
- What is the Biblical basis for missions? (The Traveling Team website)
- What has been the historical response to the great commission? (The Traveling Team website)
- Pray about and seek the Lord's will for your involvement in the great commission

I will seek to be knowledgeable about the needs of the world
- Read the international section of the newspaper
- Search the web for world news
- Buy "Operation World" and look-up countries you hear about in the news
- Learn facts about other countries and their cultures
- Spend time researching different world-wide religions

I will seek opportunities for exposure to missions and other cultures
- Consider attending a meeting at the three missions student centers
  OMS - Fridays @ 5:45 pm
  SASF - Sundays @ 7:00 pm
  WGM - Sundays @ 6:00 pm
- Take a short-term missions trip
- Visit the websites of the organizations from the Exposition
- Meet hundreds of international students at UK
  (note UK holds a cultural diversity festival every February: Check out information about the 2004 festival and make plans to attend the 2005 event)

The Great Commission Congress is a yearly missions emphasis week at Asbury College
