Chapter 9

1.  What is universalism?  What effect has this had on missions, and why?

2.  According to David Bryant, what is a “World Christian”?  Is there biblical support for being a “World Christian”?  If so, what is it?

3.  What is the great missionary hope?

4.  What is the “perfect missionary medicine”?  How might we encourage our brothers and sisters who are missionaries with this truth?

5.  Describe how a Christian hedonist should think about sacrifice.  Support this with scripture.

6.  Fear of our own weaknesses can often keep us from being a “World Christian.”  What truth keeps fear from hampering us?

7.  We read and discussed the subject of prayer and scripture in January.  What do these have to do with missions?

8.  How is the Bible reading going?
