How do you keep the Great Commission at the forefront of your ministry when you can’t go? Dave MacNeill, Manager of Student Partnerships and Ministry for Operation Christmas Child, and Ben discuss ways that you can still be globally-focused right now. Dave also shares the Gospel-focus of Operation Christmas Child and ways that you can mobilize students to make a Gospel impact through their organization year-round.

Show Notes and Quotes:

If the restrictions are keeping you from being able to go and do in the way we have in the past, we cant wash our hands of that and say we will deal with missions when we can do it the way we used to. We must keep it in the minds of our teenagers, families, and our minds as well.

It takes a missional mindset and thinking in creative ways to keep missions on the forefront during this season.
