On a mountain in Galilee, the risen Jesus gave marching orders to his Church: “Make disciples of all nations!” “Baptize!” “Teach!” Since that time the Lord of the Church has raised up ministers of the gospel to carry out that mission and take that good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth. By God’s grace, he has provided pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and missionaries to carry out that work, but there is so much work to be done. There are so many souls still dying in the darkness of unbelief. How will they hear the gospel of Jesus? God sends you to be his witnesses to the world, even as he raises up the next generation to serve in gospel of ministry and go where we cannot go. Lord of the Church, grant us hearts that desire to fulfill your mission!
