Missions in Genesis and Why it Matters webinar
Does the concept of missions start in Genesis? And if so, why does it matter? In this webinar, you'll learn that missions was God’s purpose from the beginning. Missions didn’t start at the end of Matthew and it's not just for a select few - it is for the entire body of Christ. Join author Nicole Parks with Cafe 1040 and Dave Jacob with Gospel Mobilization as they unpack the missions story in Genesis. If you're a pastor, missionary, or mobilizer who wants to motivate people to take action in ministry, this webinar will equip you with the biblical knowledge to help others live as sent ones.
