Unreached People Group Essay

     What is groupthink? There is a simple definition for it, but is it truly that simple? The term groupthink refers to the inclination of group members to have the same opinions and beliefs; it frequently leads to mistakes. It often occurs without an individual being aware of it. Conflict is considered to be a harmful element when related to groups, but conflict is good when considering groupthink because it helps to eliminate the existence of a groupthink. The explanation sounds simple enough, but it is more complex than the description given.

While there are those who may be uncomfortable with the idea that worship is a goal in making disciples, the goal of Christian education according to Mitchell is to make a disciple who worships Jesus. Mitchell points out that worship is more than just showing up at church on Sunday morning for an hour of corporate worship. He points out that worship according to John 4:19 -24 goes much deeper than just that time of corporate worship that we often think of as

"It's a very tough place to be a missionary. It's Muslim. And their safety and security very much relies upon friendly Muslims that live

As a group, it was important to us to have this in our FVC for a few reasons. One of the reasons for this was because we did not want any member to show up and be under the influence or complain the whole time. If this were to happen, we would have to deal with that problem which would take away time from working and would cause possibly a bigger problem. Profanity and complaining would not be tolerated also because that would then effect the environment and atmosphere of the work place. It can be assumed that with one of those problems occurring work would not be as efficient and scheduled as planned as we thought it would be. Thankfully, during the semester none of my group members complained or appeared to be under the influence during

Testing schedules, small group arrangements, and device logistics would definitely be one of the many managerial-type tasks I would need to consider as a building leader. Even though getting started and coordinating a schedule that balance needs and wants were a little overwhelming at first, I was motivated by the challenge and felt that I was able to successfully accommodate input from the staff through the quick survey. One of the biggest accommodations we have been able to offer through this new schedule is a small group setting for children who receive an intervention service (special education or title). As a title teacher, I have proctored several of these small group sessions, in conversation with students they have told me they love

The first half of Discovering Missions written by Culbertson and Gailey introduce the countless aspects of missions and related terminology in reference to missions. Throughout the book, the focus is then directed to the important factors that play a part in missions. Chapters eight through fourteen covers the importance of intercultural communication, volunteerism in mission, development of missionaries, the contrasting philosophies and strategies of mission, the new contexts from missions, the importance of mobilizing the local church and the changes affecting mission today. From this reading, I have learned the important factors that have an effect on missions and various ways in which they effect missions.

When it comes to ministry I believe the churches mission is the Great Commission. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold I am with you always, to the end of the ages” (Matthew 28:19). We have been given strength to do this only by the power of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:18 tells of the authority that was given to Christ from heaven, to give this commission to the Church. Therefore, my mission in ministry is to produce followers of Christ that will produce other faithful followers of Christ. With the Great commission at the heart of ministry I believe we are called to;

The necessity of evangelization continues but it losses all of it personal character to become massive. Also, the conversion was result of imposition and no for conviction.

The work of a missionary can be summarized as one who is sent into a region (neighborhood, city, state or country) to engage in evangelism. One who promotes a ministry of service that educates in areas like literacy, social justice, health care and economic development. A calling by God that is referenced by many religious organizations as the Great Commission in the book of Matthew, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the

I fully appreciate Piper’s description of life and missions as warfare with ultimate power of God on our side. This war time mentality brings urgency in our prayers. Piper, however, warns against the “danger of overstating the role of prayer” (p. 63). The work of missions is not prayer, but “proclamation of the gospel in Word and deed,” and “prayer is the weapon that wields the weapon of the Word … by which the nations will be brought to faith and obedience” (p. 63). I think this balance between our role in missions and the providence of God is very much needed. Likewise, I believe there should be a balance between our passion for the glory of God and God’s passion for his own glory discussed in chapter one, so as to prevent any mistaken notion that God needs us to worship him to glorify himself.

The first command of missions—to GO—is a simple, yet so often neglected truth. This simple word “go” indicates that there is an intended recipient. Acts 1:8 stresses the importance of local church preaching first in their local city, then in their state/province, the surrounding areas, and then to all the world. The gospel’s intended audience is ALL. The goal of missions is to share the Gospel to every nation on earth.

The attractional church perceives missions as the reason for its existence because it is through missions that members fulfill Jesus’ command to disciple others to the ends of the earth. At the same time, the attractional church uses a fairly traditional structure within which to minister and outreach to others. In addition, the attractional church empowers others through training and leadership opportunities to minister to seekers in a variety of contexts. As such, the hierarchical structure has a bottom-up approach that focuses on the people whom the church serves and works its way up to the top without losing this emphasis. As a part of this focus, attractional churches create inspiring worship services that appeal to many people and intend to encourage members and new believers to participate in building the kingdom of God. As such, the attractional church

To understand “Mission Theology” we first have separate the two words. Mission is the vocation or calling of a religion organization, especially a Christian one, to go out into the world and spread its faith (Oxford Dictionaries). Theology is the study of God or the study of the nature of God and the relationship between the human and divine. In the textbook we use for class which is called “Introducing World Missions” we are told that the word “missions” (which ending with the letter “s”) is the word that is used to explain “the particular assignment of making disciples of all nations.” We have to understand that the word “mission” refers to everything the church does that indicates concerning the Kingdom of God. Mission Theology is known as God’s relationship in mission and how he develops his creation.

The role colonialism has played in the involvement of Christianity practice in East Africa, is because of the impact of outside sources have determined the historical instabilities of the practice of Christianity and its branches. The expansion per year would result in the requirement to provide four times the amount of “personnel, finance, church building, provision for Christian education, etc”, although this all depends on the susceptibility of the Europeans and their economic, political and social influences. In Mahenge, Tanzania, there was scarcity in the ratio of priests (including high), to the congregation, compelling the administration of the Church (Green 1995: 34). The 1900’s were when a large amount of missionaries were associated with colonial authorities, and this lead many to have the assumption of missionaries and the administrators having little to no difference (Gray 1982: 60). The African missionaries run by Europeans, had an intimate dependence on “the support of secular rulers” (Green 1982: 65). Communication within the sub-Saharan were “in no sphere more significant than in the revolutionary changes that were taking place”, and the independence addressed the missions, state, and also albeit for their own benefit (Green 1982: 66). The communication sphere for missionaries was generating “innovations of critical importance for Africans” (Green 1982: 66).
