I want to interrupt this series on Pressure Points to let you know of a free upcoming webinar related to the book.
Lord willing, next week, Wednesday, June 5 (3:00-4:00 PM Central Time), I will be with Terry Sharp discussing the twelve global issues shaping the face of the Church that comprise today’s pressure points for mission.
Terry is the Director and Lead Strategist for State and Association Relations and Urban Mobilization Strategies with the International Mission Board. He frequently hosts webinars throughout the year. Terry has a heart for the nations and a keen Great Commission focus. You may find him on Twitter at: twitter.com/terrysharpimb
Here is a description of the event:
While the Church does not have control over the global contextual issues of the age, Her response to them is a matter of stewardship. In this webinar, we will address twelve of the most significant global issues influencing our mission today and consider some general responses in order to remain on mission and not pushed from our foundation. Pastors will find this time particularly beneficial as they better understand the global issues affecting the sending of their people to the nations. Topics addressed include:
- Unreached people groups
- The West as a Mission Field
- Growth of the Majority World Church
- Pluralism and the Plurality of Faiths
- International Migration
- Globalization
- Poverty
- Growth of the Cities
- Children and Youth
- Health Care
- Oral Learners
- Pornification of Societies
I hope you will join us next week and bring someone to participate with you. You may find the registration page HERE.
Pressure Points is available for pre-order at Amazon.
