Episode notes
Summary
This powerful message preached on World Evangelism Sunday reminds us that missions is not just for the few who go—it’s for all who give. From Luke 8:1–3, Pastor Adam Dragoon highlights the unsung heroes who supported Jesus financially and challenges us to do the same today.Through the inspiring story of D.L. Moody and the businessman behind his ministry, John Farwell, you’ll discover how your support can make a global impact. Whether you’re called to go or called to give, you have a role in reaching the nations.This sermon includes a heartfelt salvation appeal, a real-life missions testimony, and an invitation to support an upcoming missions trip to Cambodia. You’ll be stirred to live with purpose, invest with eternity in mind, and become a participant in God’s worldwide mission.Support the Cambodia trip by pledging by June 8th. Every dollar helps reach souls with the gospel!
