Missional ideas for outreach & serving

The three key relationships of a mature disciple of Jesus are their personal relationship with God (UP), their relationship to the rest of the body of Christ (IN) and their relationships with people in the world that God has placed around them (OUT).  

Below are missional application-based resources to help your life group grow in IN and OUT areas that you can use as your group deepens in discipleship to Jesus:
