Ask and Act is a guided cohort for young adults exploring long-term missions among unreached people groups.
You just need to be willing to ask honest questions and take the next faithful step.
Ask and Act is a guided cohort for people exploring a possible calling to long-term missions among unreached people groups.
It is a space to:
Generation Echo exists to call, connect, and care for missionaries serving among unreached people groups.
That is exactly why this cohort exists.
You do not need certainty before joining. Many people enter Ask and Act with questions, fears, or unresolved tension about what God may be asking of them.
No.
Nobody is going to pressure you into becoming a missionary or making a life-changing decision overnight.
We want to help people pursue obedience honestly and thoughtfully.
Ask and Act is designed for young adults who:
Each week includes discussion, reflection, prayer, and practical next steps.
We talk about topics like:
For some people, the next step may be continued discernment.
For others, it may mean:
Our goal is not pressure. Our goal is clarity and obedience.
No.
Generation Echo helps people explore their calling and take next steps toward long-term missions, but we are not the organization people ultimately go overseas with.
When someone is ready, we help connect them with trusted missions organizations that provide training, team structure, long-term support, and pathways to the field.
Right now, more than 3.5 billion people live among unreached people groups with little to no access to the gospel.
Many of them will live and die without ever meeting a Christian, hearing the name of Jesus clearly, or having access to a local church.
At the same time, many Christians feel stirred toward missions but never know what to do next.
Ask and Act exists to help close that gap.
In November of 2023, I was sitting at a pastors’ conference when I heard someone say, “There are 3.4 billion people who are going to be born, live their entire lives, and die without ever hearing the name of Jesus.”
That shook me.
At the time, I was serving as a middle school pastor. I remember thinking, Someone should do something about that. I just did not know what that “something” was supposed to be.
Over the next year, God kept bringing missions and the unreached in front of me again and again. Conversations at Hume Lake. Missionaries serving in hard places. Stories of people who had never once heard the gospel clearly.
Then in October of 2024, I heard someone say, “If we mobilize 100,000 missionaries into those areas, everyone will have an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.”
And for the first time, my response was not, “Someone should do something.”
It was: “We can do something.”
Generation Echo was born out of that moment.
Ask and Act exists because a lot of people feel stirred toward missions but do not know what to do next. We wanted to create a space where people could process calling honestly, ask real questions, and take practical next steps toward the unreached.
