Missions

Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually! I Chronicles 16:11

It is our mission to further the Word of God throughout the world.​

We have come together with many churches. Together we jointly planted over 60 Churches, some in the United States, Mexico, South America and soon to the Middle East.

You can help to support this effort through your donations!

God’s Special Purpose for Missionaries

Missions was God’s original plan for the garden of Eden: “And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it’” (Genesis 1:28). Adam and Eve were meant to expand the kingdom of God. After their fall into sin, even though the world changed, God’s vision didn’t change.

That’s why he renews his vision through Abraham: “Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’” (Genesis 12:1-3). What is the final purpose of God’s plan through Abram? “In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Missions work has always been special to God. God has always been fundamentally driven by a missionary heart. Therefore, when he calls missionaries to do his work, he is calling people to participate in the work that has driven the history of God’s work in the world from Eden to today.

These verses help us to better understand God’s own missionary heart, and the reason missionary work is special to him.

 

  • Matthew 24:14:
  • “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
  • Matthew 28:19-20:
  • “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 to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
  • Acts 1:8:
  • “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
  • Acts 13:47:
  • “For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”
  • Romans 10:13-15:
  • “For ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!’”
  • Revelation 14:6:
  • “Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.”

Missions as an Act of Love

“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Mark 16:15

Missions work is an extension of God’s love for the world through the church to particular people, following the example of Christ: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16

God wants us to know—whether we are supporting missionaries, considering missionary work, or actively working on the mission field—that missions isn’t just about conversion, expansion of the kingdom, or growing the church. All of these are more basically formal expressions of God’s love to his people, and we should never lose sight of that, no matter what role we play in realizing God’s desire to bring the nations to Christ.
