Why should we care about people on the other side of the world when there are needs right in our own neighborhoods?

In this episode of Ask A Pastor, Pastor Todd Barham tackles the question, “Why should I care about foreign missions?” From Guatemala and Kenya to our own communities, we explore what the Bible says about the Church’s responsibility to reach the nations with the Gospel.

Missions isn’t simply an extracurricular activity for especially passionate Christians—it’s part of the identity of every follower of Jesus. Jesus told His disciples to be His witnesses “to the end of the earth,” and Scripture reminds us that people cannot believe in a Gospel they have never heard.

Pastor Todd discusses why missions begins in the heart of God, why local ministry and global missions should go hand in hand, and how God has entrusted ordinary people with the message of reconciliation. We’ll also look at what it means to pray, give, go, and live sent wherever God has placed us.

Whether you ever travel overseas or never leave your hometown, you are part of God’s mission.

Following Jesus isn’t just about where we’re going when we die. It’s about who we’re taking Jesus to while we’re here.

Tune in and discover why the mission of God is bigger than our church, our community, and our corner of the world—and how each of us can play a part.
