What is missions?
The intentional effort to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and demonstrate His love, often by stepping into new cultures, communities, or contexts. It’s about living out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), where Jesus calls His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations.”
Missions is not just for pastors or ministry workers.
It’s for every believer, no matter their profession or skills.
Missions in Everyday Life…
Missions isn’t limited to preaching or church planting.
It’s about serving others and using your God-given talents to meet both spiritual and practical needs.
Being a missionary doesn’t always mean leaving your job behind, it can mean taking your job with you.
It’s about using your skills and expertise to serve God and others, turning your work into a ministry.
