In this weeks missional living devotional video you were more about what it means to live a missional life by joining Christ to reach your community and share the gospel with them. You will here about a historical and Biblical case study of how a community began to experience the transformation of God's power as the Gospel of Christ was preached and disciples of Christ were made.
This blog is about encouraging, empowering and equipping Ordinary Christians live an intentionally missional life that shine the Light of Christ brightly back into this dark world. We will provide training on on developing the basic skills necessary for living a life of a missionary; Biblical insights that will empower Ordinary Christians to share their faith; and inspirational stories of other Ordinary Christians who are living a life on mission with Christ.

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOUR COMMUNITY IS READY TO COME TO JESUS?
"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

2. Helpless:
You can also use the phrase "Worn out. In your community do you know of people who are so tired and exhausted with life that they are about ready to try anything to have a change in life. Sometimes, it's because they're over worked and underpaid. In other cases, it's just that there's more month at the end of the check.
3. Like sheep without a shepherd:
This gives the impression of just aimlessly wandering about without any real direction. Do you know people who are just going through the motions of life but it seems like they just keep going around in circles?
