A Mission’s Process 1.The Cause That Implored Him A.To hear the Word of God B.To see the Son of God

A Mission’s Process 2.The Challenge That Compelled Him A.Christ’s Concession B.Christ’s Investigation

A Mission’s Process 3.The Conquest That Inspired Him A.Launch Out B.Let Down

Our lives always influence others. There will be lost opportunities when we hold back on God. Missionaries need partners to get the job done. The things we hold dear are endangered when we do not fully obey God.

We lose sight of the fish and the flesh when we worship Christ for who He is. God’s blessings will give us a new outlook on Christ. Peter got a new purpose in life. They all got a new perspective on life.

Launch Out, Let Go, and Enjoy The Ride! Psalms 107:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; :24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
