The call is too clear, the need is too urgent, the opportunity is too great, to give anything less than radical obedience to Jesus' command to make disciples as we go into all the world, or to settle for anything less than making a radical difference in this world through the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ, and the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ to reach all the peoples of the world.

“To say the church is an awesome resource is still an understatement, possibly somewhat condescending. She is more than that. She is a God-designed central player, a full partner…
The vast majority of all the resources God has entrusted to his people – spiritual gifts, vocational expertise, life experience, capacity for spiritual warfare, financial reserves, etc. – he has placed in the local churches.”
-George Miley, author of Loving the Church, Blessing the Nations
Why is the Local Church Important in fulfilling the Great Commission?

What does a Focused Approach to Missions/Outreach look like?
• Is objective and intentional rather than subjective and without direction.
• Is proactive rather than reactive.• Is centered in mission rather than
missionaries.
![Page 11: Introductory Webinar January 13, 2009 12 PM EST](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56813778550346895d9f1083/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Focused Approach to Missions
Moves from asking, “What missionaries are we going to support?”
To first asking, “What missions vision has God called us to undertake together?”“What role does that play in completing God’s all-peoples mission?”
![Page 12: Introductory Webinar January 13, 2009 12 PM EST](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56813778550346895d9f1083/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Impact of a Focused Missions Vision for your Church
“Nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific. When vision is vague, it holds no attraction. Most world mission visions are vague. The more specific your world missions vision is, the more it will grab attention and attract commitment.” Steve Unangst
