I preached a message to remind my church of our Mission: to Make Disciples. It was on Jesus’ mind as He arose from the grave. It was on His lips as He met with His disciples before He ascended into heaven. Jesus knew what He wanted when He summoned them to that mountain that day.
It is obvious the great and enduring passion of our Convention is International Missions, and it should be. At the same time, no one I know wants to abandon North America in order to reach the nations, and that too is as it should be.
