We had no idea what lay ahead.
We’ve been passionate about the Great Commission.
We had no idea where God would take us!
But even then, we had the world on our hearts . . . not one or two or 10 countries, all of them.
ALL
Have you ever thought about that little word in the Great Commission?
In every nation, there are people with deep needs. God has each one on His heart.
That’s why He had Jesus tell His followers: Don’t forget the hills.
Remember the seaside villages. Don’t overlook the far-flung islands. Get them all!
“Go and make disciples of all the nations.”
God sent His Son to suffer the crucifixion and defeat death for one reason: Because He so loved the world. His master plan for getting that message to the world?
You and me.
Us—His disciples.
That’s it!
There’s no backup plan.
This month, we, along with several staff members and ministry friends, will gather very near where Jesus ascended. We’ve been there before. It’s always special. We cannot wait for this visit!
When Jesus gave His final marching orders, He knew exactly who He was talking to, how it would happen, and how long it would take. When you invest in making the clear, practical teaching of God’s Word available around the world, you’re obeying Christ’s Great Commission.
You’re investing in THE one thing that has the power to change the world.
