Mission Possible!
“Mission Possible” is an excellent resource that addresses all four mission goals of the Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. This resource is very effective in emphasizing mission and is sensitive to cross-cultural issues of discipleship. The alleviation of human suffering is stressed and the activities designed serve as concrete examples of how we can live out “social holiness”. #3727/ General Board of Global Ministries
