Come and cultivate good soil with us in 2024! We're so thankful that The Mission Table and other Great Commission resources continue to be a blessing to so many around the globe. Help us continue to serve the local church with great resources like The Mission Table!

At Sixteen:Fifteen, we’re committed to cultivating good soil. It’s not glamorous work. It’s not as fun as throwing harvest parties with gathered crops and celebratory cider. But cultivation is a crucial step in producing good fruit. Through coaching, workshops, and resources, we are helping churches and agencies remove the obstacles in their fields, break up the fallow ground, and prepare to receive the vision God has for their unique role in fulfilling
the Great Commission.

We firmly believe there will not be a new missions movement among the unreached until there is a new missions mobilization movement among churches. God has promised to reap a harvest among all nations.

Will you help us break up the fallow ground and cultivate good soil and haste the harvest day?

This time of year, we think a lot about harvests and thankfulness. But for many of us, it’s easy to forget the food on our tables today had to grow from seed months ago. And the fields it was grown in were probably cultivated years ago. Harvests don’t happen by accident. At Sixteen:Fifteen, it’s our privilege to serve at the beginning of the harvest cycle. We help churches and agencies cultivate good soil so Gospel fruit can be harvested among those with no access to the Gospel.

God is doing amazing things all around the world, through ordinary churches who have said “yes” to his invitation to participate in the Great Commission. We love getting to hear stories of transformation, and for the first time in 5 years, we have an end-of-year report to share some of the stories with you.

You can check out that Impact Report at our website: 1615.org/blog

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Matthew Ellison, President of Sixteen:Fifteen, invites you to join us in cultivating the soil of churches and missions agencies as we reach the end of 2023. ...

Important message from Sixteen:Fifteen President and host of The Mission Table. The Mission Table is a Great Commission Resource of Sixteen:Fifteen.

Did you know we are currently in pre-production for Season 4 and hope to start shooting in Spring of 2023. If you have been blessed by The Mission Table content and want to see more then consider partnering with us this year!

Recently, someone told me (Matthew) I sounded like a broken record. At first, it bothered me, but I realized it could be a good thing. Watch this video to see why I changed my mind: http://ow.ly/hPmG50LF4KJ

Do you notice this pattern in other areas as well? Do we (as a society) tend to focus on the deeds of the minority of a group as opposed to the majority?
