Witness: Missional Devotions from the Book of Acts

The same God who turned the world upside down two thousand years ago is still changing lives and communities today.

Because the media doesn’t report the spread of the good news across town and around the globe, it’s easy for Christians to be unaware of the incredible work God is actively doing today. The gospel continues to spread and transform lives across cultures and contexts today, just as it did in the early church. In this sixty-day devotional, Darren Carlson shares the stories of modern-day Christians and draws parallels to the experiences of first-century Christians in the book of Acts, giving readers a virtual world tour of God’s work both near and far.

As readers dive into the book of Acts, they will be challenged to look for ways God wants them to grow as his ambassadors and develop a deeper appreciation of the unity and diversity of the global Church. Each day’s devotion includes a passage from Acts, a reflection on its significance, and a modern-day story that connects the biblical text to contemporary experiences.

• Learn to pray for the global church, engage in your local community, and consider your role in God’s mission.
• Expand your expectations for what God can do and engage more actively with the worldwide Christian community.
• Can be used by individuals, families, small groups, and entire churches.
