1. Our “neighborhoods” and Israel are part of our mission field.
    

Psalm 122:6 (NKJV)

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you.’”

Psalm 122:6 reflects God's enduring covenant with Israel, reminding us that Jerusalem isn’t just a historical city — it’s a prophetic centerpiece in God's redemptive plan. When we pray for her peace, we align with God's heart and partner in Kingdom purpose, because what happens in Jerusalem resonates throughout the spiritual and global landscape.

 

Acts 4:20 (NKJV)

“For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

Peter and John boldly declared this after being told to stop preaching about Jesus. It’s a model for every believer — that mission is a natural overflow of personal encounter with Christ.

• Their boldness wasn’t based on strategy — it was born from encounter. This verse shows us that true mission isn’t forced; it flows naturally from seeing, hearing, and knowing Jesus personally. When He transforms your life, silence is no longer an option.

 

Matthew 28:19 (NKJV)

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

The Great Commission is not just a call for missionaries — it’s the church’s global assignment, one disciple and one nation at a time.

• Matthew 28:19 isn’t a suggestion — it’s a mandate. The Great Commission is the Church’s global assignment, given by Jesus Himself. It’s not reserved for overseas missionaries; it’s a call for every believer to participate in making disciples — across the street and around the world — one life, one nation at a time.

small group or ministry to adopt one neighborhood or international partner for prayer & engagement.
 

2. The local church + global body together.
 

Ephesians 2:14 (NKJV)

“For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.”

 

This reveals the reconciling power of the gospel — that in Christ, the wall dividing Jews and Gentiles has been torn down. Paul is declaring that every cultural, racial, and national barrier falls at the cross. We are no longer separated but united as one Kingdom family, called to walk in peace and serve together — locally and globally.

 

Psalm 96:3 (NKJV)

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.”

calls us to declare God’s glory beyond the walls of worship. It’s a reminder that true praise doesn’t stay silent or local — it becomes a global proclamation. Every song, testimony, and act of worship is an invitation for the nations to see His greatness and join in the praise. Worship fuels mission.

3. Serving across boundaries with joy + impact.
 

2 Corinthians 5:19 (NKJV)

“That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”

 

This verse gives the church its ministry identity: to represent God’s heart of reconciliation. Every act of service, giving, or outreach is an extension of this divine mission.

 

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV)

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”

 

defines the Church’s mission — to carry the message of reconciliation. God restored us through Christ, and now entrusts us to reflect that same restoring love to the world. Every act of kindness, giving, or outreach isn’t just good works — it’s ministry, rooted in God’s desire to bring people back to Himself.

 

Romans 10:13–15 

“For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? … And how shall they hear without a preacher?”

 

“How shall they hear without a preacher?” It reminds us that the gospel doesn’t spread by accident — it spreads through people willing to go. Whether across the street or across the ocean, we are God’s messengers, sent to share the hope of Jesus locally and globally.

 

Commit (or recommit) to being a globally minded, locally engaged, joy-filled people. Possibly shared prayer, dedication, or even symbolic act (e.g. writing prayer cards to unreached places).
