Watchparty

Many of us regularly end up watching mindless TV shows and movies. Instead, why not grab some popcorn and blankets, gather a group together and watch something that will inform you about God’s work across the world today? Watching a documentary or talk on global mission is a great way to learn about gospel needs and will help you direct your prayer and action wisely!

We’ve compiled a list of video suggestions, including documentaries on unreached people groups, famous missionaries, human trafficking and more.
