Another video for you to use with young people.
I often do a simulation activity on Confirmation retreats called the Apostles‘ Mission, originally from a very old Center for Ministry Development related resource
Small groups end up debating with one another if the Apostles‘ Mission was primarily to preach the Gospel, or heal the sick, or go away and pray, or return to families, or any number of other choices.
Invariably, after having left the door opened for other choices, someone will suggest “Do It All.” which captures, I think, the essence of the great commission found in Matthew 28: 19-20 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
This video originally appeared at Saddleback.
