Tracing the footsteps of the first glocal missionary in Scripture to rediscover the DNA of glocal mission today.
Before modern missions, before denominations, before mission organizations — there was a pioneer who crossed cultural boundaries with the gospel. Who was the first glocal pioneer in Scripture?
This lecture traces the biblical origins of glocal mission, examining how God's heart for all nations was embedded in Scripture from the beginning. From Abraham's call ("all families of the earth shall be blessed") to the book of Acts, the glocal DNA runs through the entire biblical narrative.
By understanding the first glocal pioneer, we discover the essential character of glocal mission: sent, crossing, blessing. This shapes how we approach immigrant ministry, business mission, and the local-global integration of ministry today.
