This week we're joined by Josh Green to help us unpack the fifth and final key to successful mission from our 'Mission Possible' research – The importance of Prayer. As you'd expect, our research found that prayer is vital to successful mission activities, and in this episode, we ask Josh about his experiences of ensuring prayer is right at the heart of the mission work he's been involved in.For more information on how Scripture Union can help you Reveal Jesus to the children and young people in your communities, visit su.org.uk/revealingjesus or go to su.org.uk/missionsupport to sign-up to our free monthly emails packed with tips, resources and more.

This week we're joined by Ben Poch, who was SU's Head of Regional Mission at the time of recording. Along with Ben, we're exploring the fourth key to effective mission from our 'Mission Possible' research – Being distinctively Christian. Why is it important to include distinctively Christian elements (prayer, worship, Bible reading) right from the start of mission activities? What happens when we neglect elements like this or bring them in too late in the process? Join us as we explore this important consideration when aiming to Reveal Jesus to children and young people beyond the church!For more information on how Scripture Union can help you Reveal Jesus to the children and young people in your communities, visit su.org.uk/revealingjesus or go to su.org.uk/missionsupport to sign-up to our free monthly emails packed with tips, resources and more.

This week, Rachael Heffer (Head of mission at the Evangelical Alliance) is with us as we explore the third key to effective mission from our 'Mission Possible' research – The importance of Relationships. It may sound obvious, but when reaching out to 'the 95', building meaningful relationships is critical – with the young people themselves and with those around them. We hope you find this chat on the topic inspiring and informative, and a real encouragement in the work you're doing to Reveal Jesus to children and young people beyond the church!For more information on how Scripture Union can help you Reveal Jesus to the children and young people in your communities, visit su.org.uk/revealingjesus or go to su.org.uk/missionsupport to sign-up to our free monthly emails packed with tips, resources and more.

At SU, we know that children's and youthwork isn't easy, particularly when stepping out and Revealing Jesus to those who don't go to church. But we're here to help! Over the coming weeks, in this first series of the SU Podcast that we're calling Mission Possible, we'll be exploring each of the five keys to effective mission, starting with 'Responding to the needs of your community'. In this first episode, Nozi chats to fellow host and SU Revealing Jesus Pioneer Eddie to dig into this first topic, and we'll be joined by some exciting guests in future episodes from organisations such as the Evangelical Alliance, Urban Saints and 24-7 Prayer, as we explore the other keys to effective mission. We can't wait to get you thinking, whether you're new to this or you've been working with children and young people for years.
