Podcast Text:

Hey, everyone. Welcome to The Worship Q&A Podcast. I’m Dwayne Moore. Each week we try to answer questions that worship leaders are asking. Today, we are addressing the question of, “How do I get my worship team involved with missions?” You can read this podcast on our blog site at NextLevelWorship.com/blog or you can listen to it in this recording right now.

Today is a unique day because I’ve got a couple of my dear friends who are on our team, Jordan Hutton and Donald Kutala, and they are joining us here. We are here in Botswana. We’re doing this with us three sitting around the table here, so it may sound a little bit echoey, but that’s because we got one microphone and we’re in an echoey room in a hotel, but we are excited.

Donald Kutala: Very excited to be part of Next Level Worship. What an impact it is making in Africa. And we bless the Lord for what Next Level Worship is doing here in Africa.

Dwayne Moore: Amen. Well, we have been doing a tour, an African, tour of four countries. We’re on our second country, but let’s jump into this question of how can a worship team get involved with missions. What an idea to get them outside the walls of the church in some capacity. And, Jordan, I’m going to refer to you to start with. I know you’ve got some experience with that with your team in the past. Why don’t you tell us about that?

Jordan Hutton: I love this question. Here at Next Level Worship, big believers that worship and missions go together. And when you live a life of worship, it leads us to live a life on mission for God, and that means that we serve others. So I think starting locally is really important. If you’re going to start locally, there’s some great things you can do with your team. Maybe you can take your whole team and do a worship set in a nursing home and serve those people. Take some cookies and get to know those people and pray with them and encourage them and serve them however you can.

Maybe you can take your team out and do something in your community, but anything that’s serving other people and living that life of worship, you’re ingraining that in your tea. And starting locally is an awesome way to begin answering this question of how we get our team involved in missions.

Dwayne Moore: That is. To add to that, about Christmas–of course, there’s other things during the year that I guess what we need to do–but at Christmastime we actually went out into homes, and we didn’t walk down the street caroling. We went into someone’s home and let that home host us. And that home invited their neighbors to come in and they sat there and listened to us sing, but then we shared the Christmas story and shared the gospel.

So, there are ways you can go out into your community and make an impact, and I do agree. Acts 1:8 says,
