Very honored to have joined dear friends @tedstur and @SixteenFifteen for this important conversation and sharing a bit of my experience as a female in a leadership role @SENDIntl
Encouraged to join 450+ pastors and ministry leaders in Detroit last week at Little Caesars Arena praying, learning, and dreaming about local and global church planting. Grateful for the leaders and ministries helping inspire the Church toward the Great Commission. @kevinpalau@tti_global
One takeaway: many are rightly passionate about equipping and supporting indigenous church planters around the world.
The beautiful reality is that God often advances His mission through partnership—local leaders and long-term cross-cultural workers serving side by side. This is especially important in areas that have little to no gospel witness and where the local church is under-resourced.
The Church is strongest when we send well and serve well. @SENDIntl
"The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come." Dietrich Bonhoeffer #advent
Interviewing a missionary candidate today for church planting in an unreached people group and we ask about theological training. His response, "@Moody_Bible gave me a solid biblical education along with equipping me with intercultural communication." Thank you Moody Bible!
Good words from Bishop Efraim Tendero. I would add the stagnation of missionary sending from the US is symptomatic of our lack of discipleship. #church
Mission agencies can and should help extend the mission of the church around the world! So fun to share this message at MissionConnexion in Portland #church#missions
Hoping to balance the news today and remember to reflect on MLK Day--especially in the global missions space. Thank you @MissioNexus for this important feature. Glad to be your newest board member!

Met with two women exploring their call to missions and had the opportunity to recommend this excellent book. Not only that but we had a great conversation about the role of the church in missions where I encouraged them to reach out to their pastor as a next step. @BHpub
"Global missions is not in competition with local outreach; rather, it's an exponential multiplication of your local ministries. It's not a rival for funds, attention, people, or other resources." David C. Meade #church#missions
Wow! So excited for Alpha Youth series. Just participated in the first viewing of this series and it's outstanding! If you care about evangelism and discipleship for Generation Alpha, this is it! Empowering the next generation of Jesus followers!
Great to be at @cedarville today and see their heartbeat for equipping students for eternal impact, grounding them in biblical truth and application in their daily lives.
Pro-tip: When working with a mission agency the church should be an active participant in the journey of their missionary being sent—from recruitment to deployment. This sets up a foundation for great communication, collaboration, and care when on the field . #church#missions
@bradleyrbell I think part of this answer is to look to those missionaries that have come home from the field for retirement or even home service. They are cultural experts who can help the church contextualize their strategies for local engagement.
I’m from the Motor City…Detroit. How beautiful to see this reflection on one of our hometown heroes, Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, and her mission to exalt the gospel in her music. #detroit#church#mission https://t.co/cNhAsjRmTu
