Discussion question for April 29, 2022.

Foreign missions have been a part of the church for many generations. What is the proper motivation for going to distant lands? What compels a Christian to go to Africa?

What abut the “curse of Ham” and the role it plays in the conditions of Africans? What spiritual strongholds are faced in Africa that are not faced domestically?
