Restore

I can't think of a more important topic for Life Groups to share in discussion.  The Church in America is on the verge of huge changes within the way we view missions and how they tie into the Kingdom of God.  Restore is a three-session, documentary-style video series from LifeChurch.tv that will challenge us as Life Groups to be examples in doing better at helping others and our overall mission efforts. I highly recommend checking out this free resource at Free Small Group Discussion Series: "Restore"  Check out the powerful trailer below!  And pay attention to the "When Helping Hurts" movement.  I guarantee that you'll start hearing more about it. 

"As a church, we’re learning to think differently about missions so Restore will help individuals, families, and LifeGroups to think more clearly than ever about how we can all bring restoration to our communities and the world in the most effective way possible." 

 "....and they walk around slums, hurling shoes at people, hurling t-shirts at people, it would literally be better of those North Americans would just go golfing and never leave home."
