Whether you were at the Mountain of the Lord conference in San Antonio or you watched on DToday.tv at home, are you coming off the mountain ready to serve?
Caleb is a Bible hero to many disciples for his give-me-this-mountain faith, even at age 85! His thirst for adventure was rooted in a deep faithfulness to God’s call. Where others were intimidated, Caleb stepped out.
Disciples Today launched the new Disciple Adventures >> program to connect disciples with a Caleb-like spirit to churches around the world that are part of the “hill country” of missions.
Here are just a sampling of the 17 especially challenging mission sites now registered with Disciple Adventures.
If this year you want to say “Give me this mountain!” consider:
Ashland, Oregon: The church started with just two disciples and has grown to 35 members with no paid staff members. Campus disciples are needed to reach out at Southern Oregon University and Rogue Community College. (more >>)
Brazil: Be a part of re-starting the campus ministry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Spanish and Portuguese-speaking disciples are especially invited to consider this opportunity! ( more >>)
Charleston, West Virginia: The Kanawha Valley mission team is reaching out Marshall University, the second largest college in the beautiful state of West Virginia! (more >>)
China: English speakers are needed—thousands of Chinese students speak English and are eager to make friends with native speakers. Experience life in an underground church for a year! (more >>)
Jackson, Mississippi: This small church is rebuilding—the youngest disciple in the church is 38! But the disciples have a vision for starting campus ministries at Jackson State University and Mississippi State.(more>>)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The church serves a campus population of nearly 50,000 students, and is training students to support plantings and campus ministries at Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Rochester, New York. (more>>)
Poland: This great European country has a population of 40,000,000--but no International Church of Christ. Planting a church in Warsaw will mean that one in ten Europeans will have a better chance to come to know God. (more >>)
Portland, Maine: Be a part of mission team in New England! Maine is known for its beautiful beaches and oceans, mountains, lakes and countryside. (more>>)
South Africa: Churches in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth are looking for young men and women with leadership experience in campus ministry to devote themselves to helping win souls and change lives in these cities. (more >>)
