You Are Sent: Finding Your Place in God’s Global Mission, Study Guide with Leader’s Notes
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Being on mission is not just one facet of following Jesus—it’s part of our gospel DNA.
“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you”—these were the parting instructions Jesus left his followers. God desires every Christian, regardless of location or specific calling, to live “sent” in their everyday lives. In You Are Sent, Nathan Sloan leads readers to discover how the Spirit that sends us fills us with God’s heart to share the gospel with those near and far.
In this nine-week study, participants will discover God’s passion for local and global missions and be empowered to make Jesus known everywhere they go. You Are Sent is adaptable and flexible for each church’s need and accessible for every member, no matter where they live or what they do. This resource helps every Christian live missionally while at the same time helping them to develop a passion and knowledge for global missions. Robust in theology and missiology, but accessible to every Christian. Includes detailed leader’s notes and an easy-to-use format suitable for a classroom, small group, or in one-on-one discipleship. Published in partnership with Serge.

From biblical theology to a history of missions, and from contextualization to one’s particular call to be a missionary, You Are Sent clearly covers all essential topics in a transferable format. More importantly, it emphasizes that God’s sending of his people is not intended for a select few. Rather, wherever God has put us, we are on mission. Highly recommended!

—Ted Esler, President, Missio Nexus
Each week in my church toward the end of the service, we pray this prayer: “And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.” In this new work, Nathan Sloan provides tangible feet to this prayer a practicable and reflective guide to help every believer engage in God’s mission. I highly recommend it.
