This is an ongoing study project, started in 2018, focussing on lessons for Mission in the gospel of Mark. These are mostly drawn from the only chapters where Jesus is spending time outside the borders of his own country.
Mark 5:1-21 – Jesus’ first missionary journey
Mark 5:21-34 – A woman living with stigma
Mark 7 and 8 – Three Lessons for Mission
Mark 8:15 – Exercising Power the Jesus Way
Mark 9:14-29 – A father with an epileptic son
This is a complex story and this paper approaches it from three different angles
Mark 10:46-52 – Blind Beggar Bartimeus
