In this in-depth study on missional living, Bethany Ferguson draws on her fifteen years of missionary experience to examine why believers should pursue lives of service and evangelism and how to follow Jesus into places of need. The Mission-Centered Life explores holistic missions, the role of God’s grace in empowering service, how to respond when missionary efforts fail, and how to cultivate hope amid a broken world.
Designed for both personal reflection and small-group discussion, this study guide combines Scripture study, application questions, essays, personal stories, prayer exercises, and reflection prompts. The material is organized into ten lessons that encourage participants to examine motives, learn humility, and engage in gospel-centered service rather than measuring missions only by numbers or adventure.
Rather than promoting a hero mentality, Ferguson emphasizes dependence on Christ, learning from those being served, and embracing weakness as part of God’s work in missions. The study helps readers move beyond comfort zones to serve their neighbors locally and globally with humility, confidence, and gospel-shaped hope.
