Card game
This activity is to help you as a pioneer – or someone who supports and enables mission – to investigate and explore two things:
- Yourself, your beliefs, practice and personality as they shape your missional work
- The context where you are engaging in God’s mission
NB For the card game you will need a desktop computer.
Discussion resources
These downloadable discussion sheets and images are designed to help you develop constructive conversations around the theology of mission and church planting.
