"It is possible for the most obscure person in a church, with a heart right toward God, to exercise as much power for the evangelization of the world, as it is for those who stand in the most prominent positions." -- John R. Mott

"No one has the right to hear the gospel twice, while there remains someone who has not heard it once." -- Oswald J. Smith

  • Missions, at the core of its definition, is a sending out of people with authority to share the amazing news of Jesus Christ. When you look at it that way, it's what we're all called to do as Christians. In Jesus' famous words at the end of the Gospel of Matthew, he says to His followers that as they are going into the world, He wants them to make disciples of people in all nations and to baptize them and teach them to follow Jesus. We do that as we shop or exercise or work as teachers or doctors or accountants. There are also times that we should step out of our routine and go to one of those nations, especially those where there are many people who have yet to hear the name "Jesus."
