In Lesson 1, Pastor Richard Cox of Overflow Church shares his personal journey from aspiring global missionary to realizing the need for missionary work in North America. He emphasizes the importance of both global and local outreach, drawing inspiration from Hudson Taylor's approach in China. This lesson underscores the idea that missionary work is not just overseas but is crucial within our own communities. Pastor Cox highlights the significance of developing a biblical foundation for outreach, illustrating the concept of being 'here, near, hard, and far' in community engagement and the transformative power of the Gospel in both familiar and challenging environments.
Upon completing the lesson video, reflect on the following questions, either individually or as part of a group discussion:
God started opening my eyes to how many people were living in our community...that never had anyone actually step outside of their comfort zone and enter into their life.
