It includes videos, workbooks for participants, and lesson plans that help Christians explore common roles in missions - Intercessor, Giver, Sender, Goer, Welcomer, or Connector - in various applications - e.g., your "Jerusalem," "Judea and Samaria," and "The Ends of the Earth."

Does it already exist?<br /><br />In August Zondervan is coming out with a DVD curriculum that sounds top notch.
