Missions

 The Great Commission

Jesus' final words to the apostles were instructions to spread the gospel throughout the world and build the church, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

These final instructions are the purpose behind our mission work.  Every generation of Christians must obey these commands, because men and women of the world can only believe if they hear the gospel preached (Rom 10:14-15).

 

 

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
