The Missions Table
Pull up a chair and take a seat! You’re invited to The Missions Table, an open and casual forum where different voices share their experiences in missions and ministry. Whether you feel a call to ministry, share a burden for missions, or just want to know more about what happens on the foreign mission field, there’s something for you at The Missions Table. Impacting and enlightening lessons in ministry often occur in informal settings—outside the classroom or after the church service has ended—as devoted men and women of God share their life and ministry experiences. These special moments gathered around a kitchen or restaurant table can forever change and shape us, and our ministries. The Missions Table provides a venue for these experiences to be shared with a wide audience and an opportunity to learn from those who have gone before.
The Missions Table
Exposure Breeds Burden
In this episode of The Missions Table, host Nathan Harrod sits down with Pastor Mark Hattabaugh — Senior Pastor of The Pentecostals of Cooper City, Director of Youth on Missions in Florida, Global Missions Board member, and leader with Compassion Services International (CSI).
Pastor Hattabaugh reminds us that “you get the call to missions by exposure.” The mission field doesn’t start with a passport — it starts the moment you walk out of the church and into your community.
Together, we talk about how pastors can ignite a burden for the world by inviting missionaries into their local churches, giving their congregations firsthand exposure to God’s global mission. Pastor Hattabaugh also shares about Youth on Missions — a program where young people “pray hard and play hard” — and the life-changing impact of Compassion Services International in meeting physical and spiritual needs across the globe.
If you’ve ever wanted to get your church more involved in missions — through giving, going, or serving — this conversation will both challenge and inspire you.
