More interested in our comfort than taking up the cross of Christ to the nations.

109
John Stott reminds us that we need to be global Christians because we serve a global God.
110
The living God is indeed a missionary God
111
and he has committed himself to to enlisting missionary people to reach everyone everywhere with the good news of Jesus.

This is why we send.
114

116
that drive our missional impulse and our heart for the world.

118
thought leaders and mission practitioners from around the world, and gives us a clear picture of both the opportunity and the progress of the gospel.

120
The gospel has taken root all over the world.

132
but also to transform our neighbours.
133
In many cities, Around the world unreached peoples now live among us.
134
on our streets, in our classrooms, in our workplaces.
135
gets So many Christians are ill -equipped and sometimes even unconcerned about reaching them.
136
This reveals the the dual burden that we have.
137
Firstly to reawaken gospel confidence at home but also to reallocate and realign missional priority to where the efforts need to align.
138
We celebrate what God is doing and our prayer is, Lord, let your last words be our first priority.
139
May mission extend from our home to our neighbors and to the ends of the earth.
140
You don't need a passport to participate in God's global mission.
141
You and I just need to say yes.
142
where we are and with what we have.
143
The mission is is not a call for a select few.
144
It is an invitation for every follower of Jesus because
145
sharing the good news is the most loving thing that we can do.
146
But here's the thing, how can our church, how can our movement, how can our network participate more fully, how can we personally commit more to his mission.
147

It is part of mission.
150

154
in Timbuktu, and in parts of the world
155
that we may not have ever heard of to stretch and grow us in our calling.
156
Thirdly, let's live like we're saints.
157
Mission isn't just about crossing an ocean.
158
It starts with walking across the street to your neighbor.
159
Let's practice hospitality, kindness, sharing the gospel with boldness and humility.
160
Fourthly, Let us give in a way that matters the most.
161
Let us support the the work of the gospel where Christ is least known.
162
Re -evaluate your budgets, Find strategic partners and give generously to the work of the gospel around the world.
163
And lastly, go as you feel led.
164
obedience Not geography defines his mission.
165
So put your yes on the table and allow God to put it on the map.

that is more beautiful and widespread that we could often imagine.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
