Many believers in U.S. churches have a heart to invest in world missions, but they don’t know how to do it. Through our work among the nations, Take the Challenge (TTC) connects with numerous indigenous churches and ministries, many of which have a variety of needs, and God often challenges TTC to take on a specific need of a specific church. We then connect the need of that overseas church with the resources of God’s people in developed nations.

     The video below is a recent update from one of three pastors TTC is supporting as they coordinate feeding programs for pastors, villagers, and poor church members in their areas who can't work because of the COVID-19 lockdown and therefore have no food. Please watch his encouraging two-minute video.

     For those pastors who have been through such a seminar and want to go deeper, Scott has begun holding weekly online Disciple-Maker groups (pictured in the gallery below). In these groups, the pastors and leaders from overseas are walked through the process of raising disciple-makers, using the Pressing Toward the Mark (PTM) discipleship material as well as other disciple-making tools and methods. After the pastors and leaders complete the first two volumes of PTM, they are required to begin their own Disciple-Maker groups in order to move forward with their own training. This pattern enforces the biblical model found in 2 Timothy 2:2 of investing in those who will, in turn, teach others.
