1. True Mission

2. The Church should Obey the Commands of Christ

3. John 13:34-35
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

4. To Whom was it given? Is it given to us Really?
Who gave this command?
To Whom was it given?

5. This is a very important command to the Church
We cannot ignore this command?
We must obey

6. (Matthew 28:19-20)
“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 am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

11. Pan Ethne = All People Groups
Unreached People Groups

12. Communities which are not being reached by local churches, because
UNREACHED!
Communities which are not being reached by local churches, because
NO churches among them
NOT ENOUGH healthy churches among them

13. Defining “Missions” “Crossing some
Cultural or Geographical Barrier to bring Jesus to people who would not otherwise have a chance of meeting Him unless someone go to them.”

14. Whose responsibility is it to REACH the “Unreached”?

15. The Church of Jesus Christ
The Great Commission is Given to the Church

(1974 Lausanne)

17. 6 Spheres of Mission Overseas
Standard Missions – Mission agencies

Relief and Development Missions
Indigenous Missions
Short-Term Missions
Church-based Missions

18. Church-based Missions
Local churches directly involved in missions
The world is getting smaller
Information is readily available
Travel is easy and quick
The Local Church is owning the Great Commission again

19. Church-based Missions
The church has money and the church has people
Smaller churches can network together to do mission together

Willing to die
Willing to be poor
