Our Mission

Our Mission:

What will our occupation be, as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, while we watch for and wait for his return? It is not enough that we have a personal experience of repentance, faith, forgiveness, adoption and sanctification. It is not enough to study the word and to search out the deep things of providence and prophecy alone. We must join heart and hand in the practical work of World evangelism.
Our Mandate:
“Go Ye in to ALL the WORLD and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature” - Matthew 28:19
“This GOSPEL of the Kingdom shall be preached in ALL the World, for a witness to all nations and then shall the end come." - Matthew 24:14

While the Church as we know it remains on the earth, it is certainly the agent to accomplish this purpose. Jesus said in Acts 1:8 and Luke 24:47-48 that we should be witness to the uttermost parts of the earth. So let us engage with all our might in this work. Let us give of our means, prayers, time, and talents to do as God leads in this great commission. Romans 10:15 says “How shall they preach unless they are sent?”. The Day of the Lord is soon approaching (2 Peter 3:10-12).

Progress on the Missionary Front is already taking place, yet we need to make a greater effort. We are belted with centers of evangelism from Greenland to Patagonia, from Norway to Good Hope, Siberia to Tasmainia. Throughout the islands of the seas, multitudes of missionaries are proclaiming the Word of Life. There only a few strongholds left without the Gospel. Right now Nepal and Tibet are awaiting missionaries and even Central Africa unbars their millennial fastness to the Truth of God’s Word. We need to become Active Soldiers for the cause of Christ. Will you hear “Well Done, GOOD and FAITHFUL Servant!” when we are called home?
