Opportunities and Tools for Missions Engagement

Catherine Rybicki

You’re a pastor who wants your congregation to become more engaged in global missions. How do you begin?

You’re a missions committee planning a prayer meeting, Bible study or special missions event. What resources are available to help?

You’re a youth leader considering a short-term mission trip for students who have never traveled internationally. Where do you start?

These are the kinds of questions churches face each year, and ACGC is here to help.

From prayer resources and missions education to short-term and long-term missionary service, ACGC offers ways for churches and individuals to engage with God’s around the world.

Pray

Prayer is one of the most meaningful ways your church can support missions. These resources are designed to help individuals pray and help pastors lead their congregations in prayer.

Prayer Packs

Each card highlights a person, country or ministry that is affiliated with Advent Christian missions. Use these cards to keep them at the forefront of your prayers throughout the week. They are available to order at no cost from ACGC here.

Prayer Network
