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.  

Session 1 – Share Questions

1. What are the three steps for engaging on mission?     
2. What does it mean to share?  What do we share with others?  Life, Testimonies, Gospel conversations, planting seeds.  1 Corinthians 3:6-7
3. Does someone have to share the full gospel in every conversation?  
4. How do I start the conversation with someone? FIRM
5. How can I be prepared for the conversation?  Be in the word, memorize scripture, be ready with a defense, remain engaged in a small group, continue in prayer

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 share life, testimonies, and the Gospel with others.  
• Practice sharing the Gospel together with someone in your group.  

Small Group Questions 

• Who do you know that doesn’t have a relationship with Jesus?  
• Would your group commit to praying for them every week for the next 6 weeks?
