Main Focus On Mission
What Is Mission?
A Christian mission is an organized effort to spread the Christian faith and embody the teachings of Jesus Christ. Rooted in the "Great Commission" (Matthew 28:19), it involves sharing the gospel, establishing local churches, and performing humanitarian work like providing education, healthcare, and poverty relief.
Biblical Foundations
The concept of "mission" translates the Greek word apostole, meaning "a sending out." It is primarily motivated by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Key biblical texts include:
* The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20): Jesus instructing his disciples to "go and make
disciples of all nations."
* The Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39): The mandate to "love the Lord your God" and
"love your neighbor as yourself.
