    2. Mark 13:11 Wherever it is that God calls us to go, the Holy Spirit will anoint us and give us the right words to speak, if we face our fears and step out boldly in evangelism!

     Discussion

  1. Have you ever been on a mission trip to another country? If so where did you go? How did God use you to win people to Jesus in that country?
  2. Do you feel called to go on a short-term mission trip, or to serve as a long-term missionary in other countries? If so what countries do you feel God is calling you to go to?
  3. If you do not feel called to be a part of a mission trip, or serve as a missionary to other    countries, in what way are you leading people to Jesus in your own country?
  4. Why is it so important that we are willing to go wherever God is calling us to go, and share the Gospel with whoever God is leading us to talk to?

End: Pray for any who feel the Holy Spirit calling them to be a part of a mission trip to another country, or serve as long term missionaries in other countries, pray for any who need to accept Jesus as their Savior, then take requests.
