Thank you for your interest in joining local churches around the world for Global Mission Sunday! We pray that through this initiative, your local church will connect more strategically and deeply with God’s global mission. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Resource Toolkit
We have prepared a special resource toolkit with suggestions for your Sunday worship service. Some churches may structure their entire worship service around the global mission theme, while others may only incorporate one or two suggestions. Please incorporate any and all of the elements that best fit your church and context.
The toolkit includes:
- Ideas for corporate prayer, worship, and creative arts
- Some thoughts for a sermon on the theme of global mission
- A brief way to introduce your congregation to the Lausanne Movement
- Video resources
- Ways to include global mission in the benediction, Lord’s Supper, and offering
- Ideas for post-service fellowship, how to share about your experience with Global Mission Sunday, and next steps
