Missions

Go and make disciples of all nations...

Matthew 28:19

The Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20
 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I will be  with you always, to the very end of the age.”
