On Monday, January 22, the Storyline seminar was held at the 23rd Missionary Conference in the missionary church Community of the Good Shepherd.

The Storyline is developed to help Christians discover God’s original plan, the role of God’s people, and God’s world history. This study provides new perspectives about God and His global mission.
The participants learnt the most important biblical, historical, cultural, and strategic realities that help understand the Great Commission. They also discovered their lives play an important role in God’s big history.

People learnt that the lives of such missionaries as William Carey, Hudson Taylor, Cameron Townsend and Donald McGavran became part of the great God’s history. A diverse and exciting history of salvation is being written nowadays as well.

There are many countries where people give their lives for faith in Christ, so the participants prayed about persecuted churches of East Asia. Today we also listened to the testimony of the gospel work in Yakutia  and prayed about unreached peoples of Yakutia.

A lot of scripture texts confirm that missionary work is God’s will for his followers. As we get the Good News, we must immediately share this with other nations.
