The Bethel Church Podcast Episode 2 - Care

Engaging On Mission – Prayer, Care, Share
Mission is a popular word around Bethel Church.  We often talk about the mission of our church and being on mission with our ministry teams.  But what do we mean when we talk about mission?  How does someone engage on mission?  Our God is missional and has sent us (His church) to join Him on mission.  In this series, Pastor Jeromy and Josh discuss how the strategy – Prayer, Care, Share – can help individuals, teams, and small groups engage on mission.

For Small Group Leaders
Thank you for listening to the podcast!  We want to help you build quality discussion in your groups.  Here are some suggestions on how to use this resource with your group: 

• Encourage your group to listen to the podcast on their own.  Its better to listen separately (not as a whole group) and then discuss it.  
• Encourage your group to read the Scripture in the notes and any others that relate to mission.  Discuss as a group which verses catch their attention and why.  
• You might make this topic a starter discussion to kick off your group time, a closing discussion to end your session, or incorporate it into your current study together.  
• Begin praying for opportunities to care for others.  

Small Group Questions 

• How is your group (or individual participants) caring for others?  
• What needs do you recognize around where you live? Work? Play?
