Why Do Mission Work

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.’” (Acts 13:47)

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. (Mt. 24:14)

It is Jesus' desire that we bring the Gospel to all peoples, to the ends of the earth. It is The great Commission! (Mt. 28:19-20)

I remember a hymn growing called, "Christ for the World We Sing." It's included at the bottom of this post. It speak of the zeal to bring Christ so that others may not be left in despair.

What I learned from my recent trip to Nigeria is that while many have heard the Gospel, there are still many who have not heard it, especially in places of power. I am also concerned by the number who claim to be Christian and yet do not really know the cross. It is The Cross that saves us!

Upon my future return this February (2013) it is my prayer to share the cross with those inside and outside the church! Please pray that this is God's will. Christ commands us to take the Gospel to the ends of the world and His Second Coming is predicated on it!
