Leader Prep (Before the Session)

Main Idea

The task of reaching the nations is unfinished. The statistics can feel overwhelming, but the goal isn’t guilt — it’s clarity, conviction, and a call to action.

Leader Script (Intros & Transitions)

Opening: “Welcome to Week 3. Today we’re stepping into some sobering realities. Let’s pray first — asking God to give us humility to receive truth and courage to respond.”

Transition to Video 3.3: “As we watch, think about this question: What does knowing the facts about the unfinished task stir in you personally?”

Transition to UPG Prayer: “This week we’re praying for the Hazara people of Afghanistan. They live in isolation and hardship, but God’s heart is for them. Let’s lift them up together.”

Closing Prompt: “Our call is not to do nothing. Let’s each write an ‘I WILL’ statement about one way we’ll take action in response to what we’ve learned.”

Group Dynamics Tips

When participants feel overwhelmed: Acknowledge the weight, then point to God’s sovereignty: “Yes, the numbers are staggering — but remember, God promised He will finish His mission.”

Balance conviction and hope: If guilt creeps in, remind the group: “This is an invitation, not condemnation.”
