Resources for the Journey

Videos and More

Running around Africa earlier this month, I ran into some of
the people from I Am Second who are regularly doing good things in the least
likely places.

If you are not familiar with their videos and materials,
this stuff is good and useful in every context for reaching, discipling, and
gathering people into groups that equip themselves to go do the same.

Here is just one of many video-testimonies of a changed life
by putting Jesus first and becoming ‘second.’

Good Blog Reading

My friend, Michael Hutcheson, blogs here and I enjoy his
writings.  Here is a great article on
community and discipleship that starts within our own heart and closest sphere
from which it spreads to others.

Challenging Book

Stetzer and Rankin have authored the book Spiritual Warfare and Missions that challenges every believer to understand his role
in the mission field throughout the world.  They call out Satan’s ongoing strategy to convince Christians that the Great
Commission is optional. "Through deceit, he is eroding the authoritative mandate
of Scripture, leading believers to tell themselves that international
discipleship is a task better left to denomination and mission agencies—not the
sort of kingdom work that every believer can do."
