Thank you.

The Church of Christ is far bigger than we often imagine.

We are part of a global family that spans across all continents.

If we understand this, we will inspire

fire to serve each other with humility, passion and unity for God's mission.

Having worked across continents and interacted with various faith communities, I have come

to treasure the truth more deeply that the church is vibrant

and alive in ways that surprise us and stretches beyond our cultural lens.

So there is a church in Dubai.

where believers from over 120 nationalities gathered to worship an image of Revelation 7 :9.

happening now.

In that church, 96 % of the congregation speak a language other than English as a first language.

The church is vibrant global family.

diverse and united in Christ.

But most believers are unaware of this extended spiritual siblings.

Joys struggles and mission.

Today we'll explore the global church and the current status of global missions.

We are part of something far bigger than our local church.

We belong to a global family which has inherited a global mission.

which is not yet finished.

Many Christians subconsciously picture the average Christian as someone from their own country or culture.

In reality, Christianity's center has shifted dramatically.

The face of the church has changed in the 1900s.

It was primarily best in Today, most Christians live in the Global South, That's Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The typical Christian today is not Western, white or middle class.

Statistically, she is more likely to be a young African woman.

This fact shaped my assumptions early in my ministry.

I had grown up in an Asian Christian home

and exposed to strong expressions of faith led by all generations in my family.

Yet, I still subconsciously imagine the church's center to be elsewhere.

Learning Global Trends affirmed what I had experienced firsthand

and helped me to understand God's work with fresh awe and an original and regional and global context.

If we don't recognize this,

We risk ethnocentric pride and ignorance missing the chance to celebrate and learn from what God is doing globally.

If we do not understand the global body of Christ, We cannot love it.

learn from it, or serve effectively.

To appreciate our global family, we need to see the bigger picture.

The Bible provides a vision for a unified global people of God and the call to make disciples of all nations.

Ephesians 2 :19 declares that through Christ we are made fellow citizens with God's people and members of the household.

Revelation 7 :9 says we are one family drawn from every tribe and language and people and nation.

In John 17 :21, Jesus prayed that they may be one.

A unity meant to reflect the oneness of the Father and the Son and to testify to the world.

God's vision for the church was always that we would be a vibrant tapestry of culture and languages unified in Christ.

This is more true today than ever before.

In 1900, 82 % of Christians lived in the global north, that is Europe, or not America.

By 2050, nearly 80 % will be in the Global South.

That's Africa, Asia, Latin America.

Africa is projected to have the largest number of Christians of any continent.

This polycentric growth means no single culture or continent dominates.

God is forming a kingdom of priests from every nation.

You see that in Revelations 5 :9.

God's family includes thriving communities in unexpected places including underground churches in

hostile regions and fast growing youth led movements in the global south.

Think of the vibrant churches in China, exuberant worship in Nigeria, or persevering believers in Iran.

These are our brothers and sisters, part of our global story.

I have seen how young leaders, especially children and youth, are rising up with a passion for God's mission across continents.

Through media, prayer and creative expressions, they are becoming active participants in God's unfolding story.

These expressions of faith and leadership continue to challenge and inspire me.

These facts correct our biases and fill us with awe at the global scope of God's family.

In this series, you'll be encouraged to foster several spiritual practices, a posture of learning.

Learn about the global church, adopt a habit of global awareness, use resources like Operation World It's a prayer handbook.

Or engage with the Lausanne's God on the Move content to learn more about what's happening around the world.

to read stories or watch videos from ministries in other nations.

This week, Learn about the church in Nigeria or Nepal.

I often encourage people I work with, especially the younger generation, to become curious learners about the global church.

When we train ourselves to listen to stories from the regions, it shapes how we pray,

how we serve and how we think about mission.

Expanding the worldview will expand or personalize our worldview of the global family.

As we marvel at the beauty of Christ's global family,

We must also recognize that the family is not yet complete.

Still, billions have not heard the gospel or joined this family.

The more I've traveled and served, the more I felt the weight of this reality.

It's not about guilt, it's about love.

If we belong to this one big family, then this gap should matter deeply to us.

So let's explore the current status of Church's Global Missions.

Thank you.

We celebrate.

We celebrate the fact that the gospel has moved in so many ways and in so many places around the world.

We confess.

that in the midst of such amazing gospel work a lot has yet to be done.

And we commit, we commit ourselves afresh and anew to the fact

that God's last words to us in Jesus should be our first word priority.

Here's the thing: the great commissions of Jesus in the New Testament are not The only things

that he has to say to us about his mission from

Genesis right through to Revelation is the unfolding story of God's mission.

His words, are our massive priority.

What we see throughout the New Testament reflects God's heart for mission.

All of the five great commissions speak about the priority of mission for Jesus Christ and for the church.

But at the end of the day, in the midst of all of this, we see that Christ's call to the church

is to take a missional turn more than just what we've seen in the past.

And what we see, statistically speaking, should shock us.

Nine out of every ten Muslims

Hindus and Buddhists have not even met a Christian and we see that there's a lot of work yet to be done.

But what what is holding us back?

Could it be that we are more in maintenance mode than serving the mission of God?

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

The mission belongs to everyone, but at the same time needs to be a live priority for every believer.

Could it be that we have delegated what Jesus has entrusted to us?

Are our screens full but our digital spaces spiritually empty?

100

Are we confusing busyness with fruitfulness in the kingdom of God?

101

Have we grown in influence rather than in our commitment to the Great Commission?

129

And tragically, listen, 2 % of global mission resources are directed to areas of greatest need.

130

But the crisis, friend, is not just over there it is right here.

131

I wonder, have we lost confidence in the power of the gospel to transform the nations?

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.

141

You and I just need to say yes.

where we are and with what we have.

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.

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.

Perché praticare la speaking con questo video?

Praticare la lingua parlando con video come questo è un metodo eccellente per imparare l'inglese con YouTube. Questo video sulla Chiesa globale offre una visione unica e arricchente, collegando culture diverse e mostrando come la comunità cristiana si stia evolvendo. Utilizzando tecniche di shadowing in inglese, puoi ascoltare e ripetere le frasi in tempo reale, migliorando così la tua fluidità e sicurezza. I dialoghi coinvolgenti e le espressioni presenti sono perfetti per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e acquisire vocaboli utili che riflettono l'uso pratico della lingua.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

Present Continuous: "The church is vibrant and alive." Questo tempo verbale è usato per descrivere situazioni attuali e stati delle cose, dimostrando vivacità e immediatezza.
Passive Voice: "Most Christians are unaware..." L'uso della forma passiva aiuta a focalizzarsi sull'oggetto dell'azione piuttosto che sull'autore, un aspetto utile nella comunicazione formale.
Comparative Forms: "Bigger than you think." Qui, il comparativo viene usato per confrontare idee, invitando l’ascoltatore a considerare nuove prospettive.
Aspetti del Frasale: "Come to treasure." Questo phrasal verb induce un significato emotivo e personale, importante per esprimere esperienze soggettive.

Trappole Comuni nella Pronuncia

Durante l'ascolto di questo video, potresti incontrare alcune parole e frasi che presentano difficoltà di pronuncia. Ad esempio, la parola "vibrant" tende a creare confusione per via della pronuncia della consonante "v," che non è presente in tutti i dialetti italiani. Altri termini come "community" e "Christ" possono presentare sfide se pronunciati troppo velocemente. Esercitarsi su queste parole attraverso tecniche di shadow speech può portare a un netto miglioramento della tua chiarezza e sicurezza nel parlare inglese. Ascolta ripetutamente e prova ad imitare la cadenza del relatore per ottenere risultati ottimali.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	have come · has inherited · has shifted
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	are made · is projected · be encouraged

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
