The Outward Focused Church, Part 1: An Introduction

The Outward Focused Church, Part 1: An Introduction

We don’t have a seating capacity problem; we have a sending capacity problem. … We have—in the church today, worldwide—9,000 times more manpower and 3,000 times more money than we need to fulfill the Great Commission TODAY. Where is it? We’re it! It’s sitting in chairs and pews in churches all over the world, waiting for somebody to mobilize it—waiting for somebody to come along and say, “Let’s turn our eyes off ourselves and put it on the harvest field!” Let’s take the focus off of the things that are around us and focus on the harvest field, because the harvest field is ripe, and it’s ready for harvest. But it can’t be done unless we choose to do it. And WE CAN DO IT.
