Together with Barna Group, our heart is to provide your church with the tools you need to evaluate your missions strategy and ensure it matches your vision. These tools break into three simple steps.

Use the church toolkit to engage your church’s small groups, leadership, and Sunday school classes in meaningful conversations around missions. As pastors and churchgoers unpack their own “why” around Great Commission motivations, it will help you re-focus the attention of your church!

Interested in a personal conversation around your church’s missions strategies and next steps? We’d love to set up a one-on-one conversation with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, and a member of the Mission India team will be in touch.

In 2017, a survey conducted by Barna Group showed that only 37% of Christians could accurately identify the Great Commission. If Christians are unfamiliar with the Great Commission, it’s tough to pursue this final command from Jesus together. Where do we go from here?

Over the past few years, we’ve been hit hard by the statistic that only 37% of U.S. Christians can accurately identify the Great Commission. It’s a tragedy to think that Jesus’ final command in Matthew 28:19—to “go and make disciples of all nations”—is being missed.

Only 42% of practicing Christians believe missions is a mandate for all Christians. On top of that, an additional 6% of practicing Christians believe missions is neither a calling nor a mandate.

Is it possible that believers are getting so caught up in addressing certain issues that they forget to proclaim the Gospel along the way?

How do we know if the method our church has selected is successful? To dig even deeper, does our church value measuring the effectiveness of its missions impact at all?

If our treasure and our heart are connected, what does our missions giving say about our Great Commission priorities? And based on what we believe to be important as Christians, where should we be giving?
