REFLECT

When you hear the word “missions,” what do you think of?
Who comes to your mind when you think of a missionary? What did they do on the mission field?
What encouraged or challenged you as you listened to the missionary updates this week?


ENCOUNTER
Read Psalm 67 together as a group and hear God’s heart for the nations.

Verse 2 expresses a desire for God's ways and salvation to be known among all nations. How does this verse connect to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20)?
Verses 3 and 5 both repeat the phrase, "Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you." How does worship relate to evangelism and missions?
Verses 6–7 talk about the earth yielding its increase and God’s blessing leading the ends of the earth to fear Him. What is the connection between God’s provision and the spread of the gospel?


TRANSFORM

In light of Psalm 67, what steps can we take as individuals and as a church to better engage in the work of missions and evangelism?
As a growth group, how can we encourage one another toward evangelism?
