Discussion Questions How are they familiar & different from what you have seen elsewhere? Christians in South Asia are a minority. How do you imagine it would change your faith experience to be in a minority faith? How were the lives of the children of Vientiane, Laos, Thava Madurai (boy in India with disabilities), and Asha Bohsle (nursing student in India) impacted by the Educational programs you saw? What are the strengths and weaknesses of those Programs?

Discussion Questions How might it affect your faith experience to be extremely poor? Reflect on the impact of choice on your life. Have you ever had the experience of feeling you had no choice? What was it like? What choices have you made that have most affected the quality of your life? Would you have had the opportunity to make that choice if you lived among the poor in Southern Asia? What kind of education does your congregation need to feel more connected and engaged with, the people of Southern Asia, & to make a positive impact on their lives?

John 10: 1-18 Bible Study Bible Study The Mission of Global ministries is about bringing hope for the fullness of life to those who have little or no hope. In the Gospel of John, we see Jesus affirming that he did indeed come to bring an abundant life for all.

John 10: 1-8 JN 10:1 "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. JN 10:7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them

John 10: I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. JN 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. JN 10:14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-- and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father..

What are the thieves in the world that come to steal, kill and destroy the abundant life that Jesus offers to all? What does the fullness of life look like for those who are living in desperate situations of poverty? How can supporting the journey of the poorest among humanity toward fullness of life help us to live fuller lives and grow? What type of solidarity is implied by the one flock, one shepherd image? Bible Questions

Let Us pray together! Living God, show us the pathway to the fullness of life for so many in our world who are denied that opportunity. Amen
