Lesson Summary
The class opened with a warm welcome and a clear statement that every believer is called to be a missionary, echoing the church’s historic role of sharing the gospel across generations. The teacher presented compelling demographic data—8 billion people worldwide, less than 5 % of whom live in the United States, yet Americans hold about 30 % of global wealth—illustrating the responsibility and opportunity for the congregation to reach unreached peoples. He distinguished between foreign and domestic missions, emphasizing that both are vital and that the decision to pursue full‑time service requires careful prayer and discernment rather than impulsive emotion. Drawing on biblical foundations such as the Great Commission (Matt 28:19‑20), the call for believers to pray for the lost (Rom 10:14‑15), and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit for witness (Acts 1:8), the teacher encouraged participants, especially the youth, to consider a lifelong commitment to mission work. Personal anecdotes about a college‑age missionary call and the practical realities of life on the field underscored the need for preparation, humility, and a heart aligned with God’s purposes. The lesson concluded with a collective “Luez l’Eternel,” reinforcing praise and dedication to the mission ahead.
