In this sermon, Scott Brown discusses how a regular family living in suburbia can fulfill the Great Commission. He suggests that families can minister to unbelievers through hospitality and evangelism, support their local church's missions efforts, and provide prayer and correspondence to missionaries. Brown emphasizes the importance of fellowship and encouragement for those serving in the mission field.

Frank Maxson, how does Joe's family fulfill the Great Commission? I don't mean the missionary family who's called to a foreign land, but the regular guy slugging it out in suburbia. How does he mobilize his family for the fulfillment of the Great Commission? You're describing me, Scott. I used to be Joe in America and I was involved in missions in various ways.

As a family, we can show hospitality to unbelievers. We can invite them into our homes and minister to unbelievers as a family. We can be involved in all different kinds of evangelism as a family. We can support whatever our local church is doing in missions. One of the things on my end as I look at it as a missionary and thinking of my brethren in America is that we deeply appreciate prayer for us as a family.

We deeply appreciate hearing from people in various churches that we've never met who've been praying for us for years. And then also corresponding with missionaries is an area of great blessing and encouragement in the lives of missionaries. We really appreciate correspondence. We appreciate being encouraged with that kind of fellowship. We're out here on the field.

We're alone in many ways and we appreciate correspondence with the brethren in the states. And that's a part of keeping a missionary on the field.
