MISSIONS OVERVIEW
The term ‘missions’ in its simplest definition means sending out. Throughout His time on earth, Jesus Christ repeatedly sent His followers out to break the good news about how people could reconnect with God and His Kingdom (Matthew 10, Mark 7, Luke 9, 10). In fact, His last words to them were a challenge to go to the ends of the earth to share the story of what Jesus Christ had done, and how it had changed their lives (Acts 1:8). Followers of Christ are sent out with a pattern for passing on this revolution of the heart, and the power to do so (Matthew 28:18-20).
