DISCUSSION STARTERS

  1. “I send you… go into the world". Where is your world, and what connections do you see as particular possibilities or leadings for you?

  2. What sort of people are you passionate about reaching for Jesus? How do you start as a disciple who makes disciples? (Hint: more about who you are than what you might say.)

  3. When the Lord speaks to you through Scriptures such as these – a call to relate to others who probably do not share your beliefs or values – what are the barriers for you? What do you sense coming against you? Share in general terms and pray for each other.
