Episode Overview
This episode of the Lausanne Global Classroom examines the gospel issue of ministry collaboration. In our increasingly interconnected world, God is uniting the church like never before in history to accelerate the advance of the gospel to all peoples. God has designed the Body of Christ to work together, and when we do, he pours out his blessing to bring life forevermore (Ps 133). Kingdom collaboration has proven to reduce duplication of effort, maximize Kingdom resources, and bring diverse groups together to solve complex problems that cannot be addressed by individual organizations.
