Choose to Be a Blesser Rather Than a Converter

Mark Virkler's picture

The book Discover Your Mission Now by Dave Ferguson tells about a doctoral thesis: “Blessers vs. Converters.” The researcher looked at the results of two short-term missions teams using different missional strategies.

The team referred to as “Blessers” went with the intention of simply blessing whoever came their way in whatever practical ways they could. The “Converters” went with the sole intention of converting people and evangelizing everyone they encountered. They discovered that the Blessers had almost 50 times as many conversions as the Converters.

Part of God's prophecy through Abraham to us is stated in Genesis 12:3, "All the peoples of the earth will be blessed through you." If we focus more on serving people and less on changing them, our impact will be greater.

Let's go help somebody!

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.
