If you’ve read through the previous three articles about Christian Missions, congratulations. You may be feeling a little beat up, a little discouraged, or a little confused about what to do. Let me attempt to allay some of these. And if you’ve read them, you know how to answer, “Do I (need to) play a role in Christian missions?” If you are a follower of Jesus – Yes! You do! https://steelcitycpn.com/home/if-they-hate-me-they-will-hate-you-7w7bd-yjls9-6jfb9-g3g2n monthly 0.5 2022-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1663459603179-3T1RAXN4E7YNV2SEIGUW/What+does+Unreached+Mean+2.png Home - What is ‘Christian Missions’? - The History of the Word “Unreached” After Protestants regained a view of converting “the heathen” in foreign lands 250 years after the birth of the Reformation, William Carey began a movement of the West (mostly Europe, then North America) sending missionaries to the furthest reaches of the globe to obey the Great Commission. https://steelcitycpn.com/home/if-they-hate-me-they-will-hate-you-7w7bd-yjls9-6jfb9 monthly 0.5 2022-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1663457313744-NTGYLULT6YSAZU9EK3F3/What+is+a+Missionary+Calling.png Home - What is ‘Christian Missions’? In the last article, I argued that it is helpful to have some centralized vocabulary for who exactly is and is not a missionary. Hopefully, you are comfortable, at least for the sake of these four articles, to agree to using this definition: A missionary is someone who takes the gospel of Jesus to a culture that is not their own, often learning a language that is not native to them to plant churches, ideally amongst an unreached people. https://steelcitycpn.com/home/if-they-hate-me-they-will-hate-you-7w7bd-yjls9 monthly 0.5 2022-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1663456707086-T1CA48YDB6YMJX2IM1KJ/What+is+a+Missionary.png Home - What is ‘Christian Missions’? Imagine the scene. I’m sitting in my apartment. Sweat is pouring off of me. It’s about 100 degrees… inside. There’s no central air conditioning. I’m in Southeast Asia. I’m a missionary. I have experienced hurt and loss and joy and rejoicing on levels I never expected. After a long day working with an unreached Muslim people group, I try to relax with a good book. I have heard of a woman who dubs herself “The Very Worst Missionary”. That is also the title of her book (not an endorsement). I’m about to settle down to the story of someone who knows my experiences well. Maybe my escapism will include some camaraderie - that mutual sense that you’re in the trenches with someone else. The reminder you’re not alone. https://steelcitycpn.com/home/if-they-hate-me-they-will-hate-you-7w7bd monthly 0.5 2022-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1657631999754-PT5LGY3D3JG2N14UFQTF/Change+Your+Scorecard.jpg Home - Change Your Scorecard Philippians 1:12-13 "Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually advanced the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is because I am in Christ." https://steelcitycpn.com/home/if-they-hate-me-they-will-hate-you monthly 0.5 2022-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1649099391146-ONRL93245HM53O2EUNHQ/If+They+Hate+Me+2.jpeg Home - If They Hate Me, They Will Hate You John 15:18-16:15 "If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you.

Summer is upon us again, and after a year of missed proms, missed graduations, and college classes moving online, students graduating this year are excited to get back to normal. For many of you that means preparing for graduation parties, freshman orientations, and moving your now young adult to their school. And so as we begin these traditions again let’s hope there is one tradition that disappears for good. That is the tradition of young adults leaving the church after graduating from high school. https://steelcitycpn.com/home/blog-post-two-bdb47 monthly 0.5 2022-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1648770334623-7WAVSWOA9PDGBAFO7YTX/untitled-design-2.png Home - How Your Church Can Reach Muslims I love Muslims and have some significant relationships with devout Muslims, some of which are leaders of their faith communities right here in Pittsburgh and have had their ear concerning matters of life, faith and truth. Ten years ago, if you had told me that I would regularly visit a mosque, be friends with an Imam and hold forth the Word of God in a gathering of Muslims, I would not have believed you. https://steelcitycpn.com/home/category/Finances monthly 0.5 https://steelcitycpn.com/about-us daily 0.75 2022-04-21 https://steelcitycpn.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-04-12 https://steelcitycpn.com/school-of-ministry daily 0.75 2023-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1667522223571-WM35EZ6PSHZNVAX6D0E6/PNG+Steel+City+School+of+Ministry+Crest.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/1667524209077-OKAJ2MLVNX2133XCZG2S/reversed_3-removebg-preview.png https://steelcitycpn.com/leog daily 0.75 2024-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a208bb0cc595b2f1087c5/fce52c63-297d-4f08-971a-b00ebf25123a/League+of+Extraordinary+Gentlemen+%282%29+%281%29.png
