AGAPE HOUSE FELLOWSHIP
experiencing Christ as a church of nations, generations and inspirations
Power Verses
so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Hebrew 11:8
By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Hebrew 11:9
This Is Why God Made Me
Searching for his own identity as a student, Woodberry decided to take a mission trip to West Africa in 2001. What did he discover there? How does this discovery change him and help him to find his identity as why God made him?
More Than One Aspect
Woodberry spent more than 20 years in his work to find out the impact of missions on global democracy. His journey went across a wide range of disciplines: youth in a church, college, graduate study, short term mission, and professional training (political science, statistical analysis, etc). Please discuss how all these aspects came together in his pursuit of how God can use him and his talents. What are the keys in his journey we can learn about this convergence process?
Impacting his Peers for Christ
This is a statement from one of his peers who is not a Christian.
"I'm not religious," says Grier. "I never felt really comfortable with the idea of [mission work]; it seemed cringe-worthy. Then I read Bob's work. I thought, Wow, that's amazing. They left a long legacy. It changed my views and caused me to rethink."
Please discuss why his peer(s) were impacted by his work. “Be missional” is more than just “preaching the words”. It can be a collective work of one’s life and professional work together. A concept about market place ministry for the kingdom of God. We encourage you to excel in your field of callings with a clear kingdom vision and daily impact to those around you.
