World Outreach Celebration 2025 focuses on the them: “Don’t Waste Your Worship: How Missions Flows from Worship and to Worship.” On Day 1, Daniel Bennett, pastor-teacher of Bethany Community Church in Washington, Illinois, speaks from Acts 11:19–30 on “True Worship: Missions and the Local Church,” emphasising that you must participate in Christ’s church if you desire to participate in God’s kingdom.

2. The local church is the primary place discipleship takes place (vv. 22–26)
3. The local church is the primary means through which God accomplishes ministry (vv. 27–30)
