We believe the local church is the key to reaching the nations. And it’s been this way since the church began. Together with Encompass, your church can touch the nations with the love of Jesus. Here are six ways to engage your church in global missions right now.
One of the best ways to keep missions in front of your members is by showing short videos from the field in your services and sharing them in your social channels. Encompass is always creating new video content, so check back often! Our full video library can be found here.
A great way to encourage and be encouraged by our global ministry movement, the 2020 prayer guide will draw you into a deeper awareness of global missions and inspire you toward a more vibrant relationship with God.
Ally has been building relationships with Afghan migrant women in Western Asia, showing them the unconditional love of Jesus during an uncertain and frightening time in their lives. She longs for these women—and through them, their entire households—to know the love of Jesus Christ.
The Path series is designed to help your church members learn about global missions and get your leaders excited about mobilizing others to the field. These books are perfect for individual learning and small group study. Get free e-books and chapter downloads, and purchase copies here.
You can develop the missional habits of a global worker. Our book, Pursuing Your Calling, can help! It will show you missional habits and how to apply them in your own context to prepare you for future ministry opportunities. Later this year, we’re hosting a series of monthly gatherings for people interested in pursuing God’s call to serve as global workers. Together, we’ll walk through Pursuing Your Calling. Begin advancing God’s Kingdom now by joining the Pursuing Your Calling Virtual Community.

The best way for everyone in your church to get involved in missions is to pray for the workers serving around the world. Here are some ways you can encourage more prayer involvement.
Encourage your members to sign up for PrayNow, a short prayer request newsletter with daily ideas of how to pray for the nations.
Host a prayer vigil for the missionaries and global projects you sponsor. Encourage your members to pray at a certain time of day or a certain day of the week, or set aside a day for prayer and have people sign up for time slots.
