For many years now, we have come to the second and last Sunday of Mission's focus or global focus and at the end of this service on all the

campuses we have invited a group of people to come to the front for

prayer with a view to clarifying and confirming and empowering a calling on their lives to cross a culture

and take the gospel to a people long term and we'll do that again. And I'm telling you up front so that as I speak you can be
