Bible study
Key video
The key video is the entry point for the full Alongsiders resource, designed to open the conversation on what being an alongsider means for you and your faith community… wherever you are.
What is it about?
In this video, sit down with intercultural team members Rours, Reaksmey and Paul as they explore what they are learning about being alongsiders. And then, take a moment to consider what being an alongsider means for you. How is God calling you to step out and live as an alongsider?
How to use the video
This video can be used as a discussion prompter for churches and small groups. It’s our prayer that your faith community takes this piece, and uses it to spark a new conversation about how you are individually and collectively living as alongsiders.
As a church (or small group), watch the Alongsiders video during your service, and then invite people to form small discussion groups.
Use the PPT slides or printable PDF to share the questions.
