Missions Sunday
At Christ Community Church, missions have always been at the core of who we are. As part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, we are committed to seeing lives transformed as people in every nation, tribe, and language experience the hope of Jesus. This Missions Sunday, we take a deeper look at what it truly means to do missions well.
Why Missions Matter
Right now, more than 700 international workers from the Alliance are serving in over 70 countries—many of which have less than 2% of their population following Jesus. These communities often have little to no access to a local church, making the call to missions more urgent than ever.
Jesus' final command, known as the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), calls us to "go and make disciples of all nations." But how do we do this effectively? Not everything done in the name of missions is equally impactful. This Sunday, we explored how we can approach missions wisely and with a heart aligned to God's purpose.
Doing Missions Well
Dr. John Stumbo, president of the U.S. Alliance, reminds us that not all mission work is equally effective. As we engage in missions, we must ask ourselves:
Are we truly meeting the needs of the people we serve?
Are we sharing the gospel in a way that resonates with different cultures?
Are we supporting and equipping local believers rather than simply providing temporary aid?
At CCC, we believe in a holistic approach to missions—one that builds long-term relationships, empowers local communities, and ultimately leads people to a deeper understanding of Jesus.
How You Can Be Part of the Mission
Missions isn't just about traveling across the world; it's about being intentional with the opportunities God has placed in front of us. Here are some ways you can get involved:
Pray – Lift up missionaries, unreached people groups, and those hearing the gospel for the first time.
Give – Support missions financially to help sustain long-term ministry efforts.
Go – Whether through short-term trips or full-time service, be open to where God may be calling you.
Support Locally – Engage in outreach efforts right here in Omaha, reaching those in need with the love of Christ.
The Call to Action
Missions is not just for a select few—it is a calling for every believer. Whether across the globe or in our own neighborhoods, we have the opportunity to share the life-changing message of Jesus with those around us.
