By “mission focus” I simply mean an intentional and continual emphasis on bringing the message and life of Jesus to those who do not yet know Him.

1. A mission focus keeps you connected to God’s heart of love for all people.
2. A mission focus raises awareness of people around you who need Christ.
3. A mission focus connects you to brothers and sisters worldwide who need your prayers.
4. A mission focus prevents your group from becoming overly focused on members’ needs.
5. A mission focus expands your prayer life to include God’s plan for the nations.
6. A mission focus enables your group to see current events through the lens of the Great Commission (Mt. 28)
7. A mission focus enlivens your own faith and appreciation for your salvation.
