Vision for Mission: Nurturing an Apostolic Heart

Session 6 The Passion for the World and the Universality of the Call To the Ends of the Earth

Dreamers! Awake! It’s okay to dream about all the ways you might stand in the Gap, how your fellowship might get ready for a coming Great Awakening to Christ and how you will reach out in love. Prisoners of hope make the best kind of dreamers. Their growing vision drives them to dream of new ways to let their lives count for Christ’s cause. Together they gather the big, world- sized dreams God gives to set them free in love to the ends of the earth.

Note: In the audio portion of this session, the opening song is To the Ends of the Earth , written by Scott Wesley Brown and David Hampton (© 1995, Integrity’s Hosanna! Music)
