Buddhist Peoples
​Meeting 3

Study

Read Romans 15:20–21

  1. Read Romans 15:20. Paul’s ambition was those who never heard the name of Christ.

    What is your ambition regarding unreached peoples?

  2. Read Romans 15:21. Paul knew people were waiting to believe.

    Should this influence our involvement in bringing the gospel to unreached people? ​Explain. 

Watch

Ganbaru (4:05)

  1. "Who would have thought we would wind up in Japan and find it to be our story?" 

    What are the first steps we can take to discover our part in the story of bringing the gospel to unreached peoples in a Buddhist culture?
    ​
  2. What else stood out to you from this video? 
Finding the Way to Japan (4:20)

  1. "We toured a couple of cities in Japan to find out where God wanted us to be." 

    How does this kind of trip serve to clarify God's will? 
    ​
  2. What else stood out to you from this video? 
Isaan the Next Chapter (3:36)
​
  1. ​What stood out to you from this video? 

Discuss

From the article 7 Mission Jobs You Haven't Heard Of. Read the various mission roles available today.

  1. Farming. 

    Yes, you read that, right! Combine a business background with a passion for good produce, and you get a perfect platform for mission. Coffee, fruit, chickens...you name it.

  2. Performing arts. 

    Tucked away in one corner of the world is a creative community of God’s people who make Jesus known through life and worship, music, and art. “I see unlimited potential,” writes one worker. “Music, film-making  poetry, dance, storytelling, drama, painting, crafts, etc., can be used to live in relationship, communicate truth, and express worship.”

  3. Tourism adventures. 

    Snorkeling, rock climbing, diving, trekking, surfing, and visits to waterfalls. Running a tourism adventure company lets these workers build and develop relationships with their local employees.

  4. Trades. 

    People who use their hands to build and fix things are in high demand! These workers use their skills to teach sustainable and affordable building techniques and help implement culturally appropriate technologies on a community level. In doing so, they are able to share the love of God in practical ways.

  5. Being a family. 

    This might sound strange, but in many places around the world—particularly countries where families are torn apart, kids are orphaned, fathers are killed by war—a Christian family that honors God can demonstrate in word and deed what it means to follow Jesus.

  6. Business. 

    Can you imagine the opportunities to bring glory to God through running an Internet café, a bakery, a restaurant, or a consulting company? On a business level, meaningful engagement with local customers could bring new life. Ingenious!
    ​
  7. Media. 

    ​You only need to spend a few minutes on CommNetMedia.com before you see the way film photos, graphic design, and stories bring glory to God. What is CommNet, you ask? CommNet is a team of creatives who use their skills to capture and share stories of God at work across the globe— advocating for the unreached.​

​Which job would be the best fit for you? If none, what role would be your dream job?
