The Mission engages in the … well … The Mission
I am truly appreciative and grateful for the feedback received during our current series this Summer on The Mission. Our leadership team felt it important that we all understand the focus of the church as we opened the new children’s wing and lobby.
Also this Summer, we are doing something we have never done before. I am teaching the same series on La Misión in Spanish on Wednesday evenings. This has been very interesting. I was thrilled to see such a good group in our Spanish study tonight.
Now, here is the really neat thing that is happening in the background. As we go through this series on The Mission, the podcast appears on our website immediately after the service. By the next day, The Mission is up in streaming video. Not long afterward, the Spanish version follows. Very cool.
You would be amazed at the visitors to our website from the Spanish-speaking world. Many are completely fluent in English and do not have to wait for the Spanish version to be posted. From Morelia, Mexico this week I heard from a pastor friend who has been profoundly affected by the series. Others have also weighed in with comments and thanks.
A young woman from Costa Rica visited us a few weeks ago. She is involved in a wonderful ministry to college students in San Jose. The ministry has a thorough and systematic approach to making disciples not unlike what we do here at KCBT. The leaders of this ministry asked my friend to add a missionary component to their teaching. Having just been with us, she is teaching the same series to them!
Monday night she taught lesson #1 to a group of about a dozen students in San Jose. Tonight, as I taught lesson #5 here in Spanish, she was repeating lesson #1 to a different group of students. Last Sunday in English I taught lesson #8. This is fun! This is the biblical concept of reproducing ourselves and making disciples of Jesus Christ. This is The Mission!
