Go Forth

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.
- Matthew 28:19

Jesus was kingdom-minded. He began His earthly ministry by announcing that the kingdom of God was at hand (Matthew 4:17), and He ended it by speaking of things pertaining to the kingdom (Acts1:3).

The expansion of the kingdom of God was in Christ’s heart when He commissioned His apostles to go forth to all the nations. From America to Africa and South America, we are to deliver the message of the kingdom of God. In the midst of poverty, starvation, misery and despair, we are to lift the curtain to another world marked by abundance, wellness, joy and peace.

As Christians, we all have a responsibility to extend God’s rule over circumstances and situations on earth.

Through our prayers and our giving, we can traverse borders of time and space and impact destinies of people who otherwise would never have an opportunity to know God’s love and good intentions toward them. God commissioned us all to go forth; if we cannot go forth, it is our duty to help those who do.

Will you lend a hand today?
