The Missions Course (w/ Matt Sonke) – Episode 309

The Missions Course (w/ Matt Sonke) – Episode 309

Matthew Sonke and his wife Ashley spent the first years of marriage working and living among college students. This experience gave them a first-hand perspective of the shackles that come with college debt and a strong desire to mobilize this generation.

You can feel his passion for developing missionaries and helping churches create a healthy missions focus on today’s 95Podcast. His desire to reach the unreached will definitely touch your heart. This passion is what lead the team at AIRO to create The Missions Course.

Matt has a Bachelors in Christian Studies and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. He loves sports, and will invite you over only if you root for the Dodgers or Lakers.

Key Takeaways

1) Research has shown that an astounding 83% of American church members have never heard of the Great Commission.

2) A great deal of missions focus evolves around financial support of missionary organizations. However, most of the congregation is personally removed from the mission connection due to a lack of relationship with any missionary.

3) Student loan debt is one of the biggest detractors from young people being able to go on the mission field.

4) Creating a missions culture in the local church must be led by the pastor and other visible leaders within the church. It never works when the leadership is uninterested or unmotivated to be involved with missions.
