Do we know our mission? At times we do; we get trained in classes, we get indoctrinated with ideas of prophecy and doctrine. We attend conferences that give us the latest innovation within church culture. However, are we engaging the culture to salvage the culturally wounded, or are we pushing back against the ideas that enslave people to ignore God and the love He has for them? In this episode, Larry introduces you to a mission-minded group of people who understand the mission of the church and they tell how they are living out that mission.
The Crossroads Chapel, also known as Chapel at the Fair, has been sharing the Gospel at the Minnesota State Fair for more than sixty years. It is a welcoming place where millions of fairgoers enjoy live performances by Gospel musicians, and buy fine religious-inspired books and merchandise at their Bookstore and Gift Shop. Besides worship services and entertainment, the Chapel at the Fair offers drop-in prayer and free Bibles. The Prayer Station ministers to the prayer needs of anybody who asks for prayer, and they are offered love, hope, peace, and a Word of Life from the Lord God Almighty. Now, the Crossroads Chapel is permanently extending the twelve days they usually spend at the Fair to do ministry all year around.
