What will 2022 look like?

Video (4 minutes) - What’s coming over the horizon in 2022…

Dear WBC Friends,

We are anticipating God working in our family and ministry in 2022. The above video captures in 4 minutes what we think God might have in store for us in 2022, as well as a little glimpse into what life is like for us and our kids at the moment. (We shot the above video for Wallenstein Bible Chapel, one of our supporting churches and wanted to share it with you.)

-- BONUS --
Here are two additional videos that share our plans for 2022. We find washing dishes, cleaning toilets, running errands or commute times are the perfect time to engage with content like the ones linked below. (By the way, Russ almost always listens at 2x speed.)

1. A Vision for the 21st Century World (13 minutes)
Michael Oh, Lausanne Movement CEO, shares about how the body of Christ is being prepared for what the world will be like in 2050.

One of Russ' major projects (Michael describes at 2:25) is a digital global platform for the connecting and the collaborating of the disciple-making ministry of the 99 percent. The 99 percent are those in the church who are not ministers or missionaries but want to be deeply involved in God's global mission for his church.

2. God's Call for Indigitous (29 minutes)
Russ shares about the 2022 plans for Indigitous, the network where he serves as Managing Director. We are trusting God for a global network of innovators that are equipped to bring the gospel where it needs to go with the same ambition Paul had in Romans 15 - to have the name of Christ heard where it has never been heard (watch at 15:40). There's also an acronym, BCE/III/JPR/TTV, that we invite you to join us in praying for (17:40).

WBC Friends, we are so glad to be journeying together into 2022. Thank you for your friendship and your partnership in leading the next generation of digital missions.
