Community outreach isn't just the pastor's responsibility. It's an opportunity for every church member to share the love of Christ through everyday relationships.
From serving local schools to praying for neighbors and meeting practical needs, small acts of faithfulness can open doors for the gospel.
In his latest article, Scott Brock shares eight practical ways pastors can equip their congregations to move beyond attending church to actively being the church in their communities.
How is your church building relationships with the people around you? Share in the comments!

What if raising support for missions wasn't just about asking for money, but inviting others to be part of what God is doing? 🌎
For many future missionaries, raising financial support can feel intimidating. But what if we changed the way we think about it?
Ken Lorow shares a powerful story about a ministry partner who continued giving even after losing his job. His reason? He didn't want to miss the blessing of being part of God's work.
Support raising isn't just about meeting a financial goal. It's about building relationships, inviting others into the mission, and trusting God to provide.

Does loving the local church distract us from reaching the nations? It should do the opposite. When believers are deeply committed to Christ, their families, and their local churches, they help build the kind of healthy congregations that can faithfully send and sustain missionaries around the world.
Love for the people God has placed closest to us does not have to limit our concern for those far away. Instead, that love can overflow beyond our churches and communities as we carry the hope of the gospel to people who have never heard. See how a stronger love for the church can fuel a deeper love for the nations: buff.ly/sH2tsFd
As winter approaches in Ukraine, families continue to live with the uncertainty, stress, and danger brought by war, while churches and pastors keep faithfully serving their communities and proclaiming the hope of the gospel.
Through Flood the Nations, you can help strengthen gospel ministry in places where the need is urgent and the opportunities to serve are great. Your support helps believers and ministry leaders continue caring for people, meeting practical needs, and sharing the message of Christ in the middle of incredibly difficult circumstances. Stand with the church in Ukraine and help make the gospel known when hope is needed most: buff.ly/BJ4knG7
France needs our prayers. Across the country, widespread demonstrations have brought unrest, violence, and uncertainty to communities already facing deep social and economic pressures.
Pray for peace in the streets and protection for those caught in the unrest. Pray for wisdom for leaders and authorities as they respond. And pray especially for churches and believers across France to reflect the hope, compassion, and peace of Christ to their neighbors during a difficult and divided season.
In moments of uncertainty, may God use his people to point others toward the lasting hope found in Jesus.
Will you take a moment to pray for France today? 🇫🇷 Learn about the current needs and opportunities in France: buff.ly/Nwbeu8F

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong anywhere? For missionary kids and third culture kids, “home” can be complicated. It may mean more than one country, family members thousands of miles away, or memories of places that no longer feel the same.
In “Homesick,” missionary kid Eliana Mee shares how that longing has pointed her toward a deeper truth: no place on earth can fully satisfy the desire to belong. For followers of Christ, our true home is still ahead. The ache of homesickness can remind us that we were made for something eternal.
Learn how an earthly longing for home can point us toward an eternal one: buff.ly/r0fQnzV

They have never had a church building of their own.
Vida Nueva Church gathers more than 200 people each Sunday under tents on rented ground in Lima. Weekly Bible studies, counseling, and leadership training take place wherever space can be found.
And yet, the church has continued to grow.
The church has been growing since 2011. Vida Nueva has planted two daughter churches, and 35 people have been baptized since 2023.
Imagine what could happen with a permanent place to call home.
Phase 1 of the Vida Nueva Ministry Center will provide the land and permits needed to give this growing church a lasting foundation for ministry.

Missions has never been a job for missionaries alone. Every missionary who goes is supported by believers who pray, give, encourage, and faithfully stand behind them. Some are called to cross oceans. Others are called to hold the rope for those who do. And for some, God may be asking them to grab the rope and go.
The question isn’t whether you have a role in the Great Commission. It’s what role God is calling you to play. Read “Grab the Rope” from ABWE President Paul Davis and consider your part in God’s mission:

Billions of people are still living without consistent access to the gospel. In some places, the church is young and growing. In others, entire communities have little opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus at all.
Flood the Nations is our commitment to help change that. By partnering with local churches, national leaders, and missionaries around the world, we’re working to see communities reached, believers discipled, churches strengthened, and Christ made known among the nations.
There is a place for you in this mission. Learn how you can help flood the nations with the gospel: buff.ly/xqjPw5F
How do you teach deep truths about God to people who have never read the Bible—or who come from a culture where truth is passed down through stories?
In this week's episode of @missionspodcast, Alex and Scott explore how the stories of Scripture can help missionaries, pastors, and disciple makers communicate sound theology in ways people can understand and remember.
The choice isn’t between good theology and good storytelling. Scripture gives us both.
From creation and the fall to Christ’s finished work, the Bible’s stories reveal who God is and what he has done. So how can we become better biblical storytellers without watering down biblical truth?

Take 20 seconds and pray for The Gambia. 🇬🇲 Pray that God would strengthen those sharing the gospel, open hearts to receive his Word, and provide access to Scripture for those who still do not have it in their own language. May people across The Gambia hear the good news, turn to Christ, and worship him.
