Evangelism and Missions in India With Aaron Menikoff and Harshit Singh

In this week's episode, Alex and Scott welcome pastor Aaron Menikoff (Atlanta, USA) and pastor Harshit Singh (Lucknow, India) to discuss how evangelism and missions function through the local church, particularly in the Indian context. Drawing from their book Prioritizing Missions in the Church, Menikoff and Singh argue that missions should not be treated as a side program but as an outflow of ordinary, faithful church life. They emphasize that preaching, prayer, discipleship, and the ordinances—when practiced consistently—form the foundation through which God raises up and sends missionaries to the nations. The conversation highlights how this church-centered approach applies across cultures, including settings with limited resources and growing opposition to Christianity. Key Topics Missions as the beating heart of the local church, not a side program The role of ordinary means of grace (preaching, prayer, ordinances) in global missions A biblical definition of missions as crossing cultural, linguistic, and geographic barriers Practical ways churches can embed missions into regular church life Discipleship and long-term theological training for future missionaries Do you love The Missions Show?
