    The Kingdom Mission of God, Part 1 (Reprise)

    Networking and Collaboration We're bringing this episode back to the table as it will now appear as a series about the Kingdom Mission of God in Sicily and Italy. As the next episodes will build on this premise, we wanted to put them closer together and make them more accessible (for those who haven't heard it yet or perhaps have forgotten). Jesus' emphasis on the kingdom, during His earthly ministry, should be our emphasis as well. However, if your experience is anything like mine, I didn't grow up thinking about the kingdom much at all, nor could I see it in the Old Testament, nor make sense of how it ties into the overarching "mission of God" in the world. The "mission field", we find, is inextricably linked to the outworking of God's ever-advancing kingdom, and so these episodes hope to tie these concepts together with real-life, current happenings on the field in Sicily and Italy. We hope you'll enjoy listening, but more importantly, we hope this offers some fresh perspective! Summary In this episode of the Mission Sicily Podcast, Brian reflects on the first half of 2025, sharing insights into the mission's activities, challenges, and future plans. He discusses the importance of church planting, networking among missionaries, and understanding the cultural dynamics of foreign immigrants in Sicily. The conversation emphasises collaboration in evangelism and education, the need for funding, and the overarching theme of the Kingdom mission of God. Takeaways It's important to reflect on our impact, the work we're doing matters.The mission aims to train and deploy the next generation of Italian leaders.Networking helps break down isolation among missionaries and churches.Understanding cultural backgrounds is crucial for effective ministry models.Collaboration in evangelism can lead to a more holistic community impact.Education and training are essential for sustainable ministry, future leaders.Funding is necessary for ongoing mission's work, rendering it sustainable.The Kingdom mission of God involves all believers in various capacities.Prayer and support are vital for the mission's success, partnership counts! __________________________________________________ Dream Catcher Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

    Learning The Unforced Rhythms of Grace

    On this first episode of a brand new season, and the very first of this year, we wanted to take a look at the day-to-day rhythms that keep this ministry rolling forward. Sure, there are lots of things that happen throughout the week that we won't mention here, from prayer and strategy meetings to counseling and the like. What we will examine are the routine, but strategic, "encounter points" that we've created in order to help take ourselves and other Jesus followers deeper into the scriptures. We're helping them to wrestle with the word, and grapple with the gospel, and become more firmly fit together in the Body, grounded and effective in ministry.
