Missions Culture

A general term for the emphasis that a local congregation puts on the work of missions around the world. This can include the frequency with which missions are mentioned from the pulpit, the kind of material small groups study, and the percentage of a church's budget that goes toward missions. A must for any church's mission culture is regular prayer for the Lord to raise up missionaries, as Christ commanded:

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37–38)
