Monthly Dinners for a Gospel Cause
Around the Father’s Table is a once per month event we host to support various gospel-centered ministries and projects around the world. The idea is for people everywhere to open their homes and host a monthly dinner with friends, family or their small group. During the dinner you'll also hear about a global ministry or project that is making waves for Jesus in another part of the world. You'll have time to lift up this ministry and their host country in prayer, share a cultural meal (if you choose), and take the $25 you'd normally spend on a plate a restaurant, and instead give it straight to the ministry being supported, to further their work.

Host a Gathering and We'll Help With the Rest
If you choose to host a gathering, first off, thank you so much! Our ministry partners are doing amazing work for the Lord and making SUCH impact in the lives of the people around them. Hosting a dinner helps them continue to do just this!
Simply fill in the form below to sign up as a host, and we will send you everything you need, including invitations, recipes from our partners' host country for you or your guests to prepare if you'd like to try a cultural meal, the link to the video you'll watch together during your gathering to hear about our monthly partner, and prayer points to pray together as a group.
Then, you'll choose your date for hosting, invite your guests, and get ready for a fun and encouraging time investing in the gospel. Plus, if you have any questions or need any help at all, you can always email me at rashelle@motheringthenations.org
The Big Need
For the Gospel to go Forth, It Needs Willing People & Practical Resources
You can see God's heart for the nations from the very beginning of the Bible in the book of Genesis all the way to Revelation. In Genesis, God tells Abraham that through his offspring all nations on earth will be blessed (Gen. 22:8). Throughout the Bible, God continues to reveal His heart for all peoples to know Him. And in Revelation we see that God will be surrounded by people worshiping Him from "every nation, tribe, people, and tongue (Rev. 7:9)." God loves the nations! And He's waiting on His bride, the Church, to reach them.
Unfortunately, over 3 billion people have still never heard the Gospel, or even the name of Jesus. For them to be reached, not only does the church need willing people to GO to these people, but also the financial backing to do so. These monthly dinners will enable us as a church to support those who are going both prayerfully and financially. In the process, your heart will grow in love and compassion for the nations, and you'll be able to make an impact reaching them from your own home.
It's so easy to think that only special people are called to be pastors or missionaries or whatever other title is given, but Jesus asks all of us to play a part. His final words in Matthew 28 even tell us to "make disciples of all nations." So, even if you're not in another country, you can play a part each month advancing the gospel with your prayer, your time and your financial contributions.
