Jesus has an adventurous mission for His people. After He rose from the dead, he told his followers to, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptize them and teach them to obey everything I’ve commanded you.” And again he said, “You will be my witnesses starting in Jerusalem and going to the ends of the earth.” Ever since uttering those words, his people have taken these words to heart and have taken the message of Jesus to the nations. It is Jesus’ explicit desire that every person in every nation would come to love and follow Him. While many have come to Him, there are still many who have not — which means that our missional adventure continues.
One of the ways our church family takes this call seriously is through our church’s birthday. Each year we celebrate our birthday by focusing on what GOD is doing among the nations. We partner with trusted friends who are faithfully serving Jesus in other nations, in order that Jesus would be pleased and that every person would come to know him.
