The Challenge: DAY 40 – God’s MISSION! #5
His MISSION
Welcome to the final day of your 40-Day Mission-Minded FAMILY CHALLENGE!
Thank you so much for being a part of this motivational adventure. For this final day, we’re concluding our 40-Day Challenge by focusing on the big picture of God’s Great Commandments and God’s Great Commission. As mission-minded families, let’s aim toward God’s purposes, and be eternally minded.
Note: According to Joshuaproject.net, the statistic need of today’s unreached people is even greater than quoted in this video. This source says that there are currently about 2.71 billion unreached people. This number is SO large – it is equivalent to the total population of ALL of North America (the entire U.S., Canada, and Mexico), ALL of Central America (minus the Caribbean), and ALL of South America . . . TIMES THREE!!!
