As an introduction to missions, we want to share these short videos. There are many more resources in the links at the end of this page. This page was originally designed for students as a resource. 

God’s intent to draw people from every people group is a primary reason the global Church is still here. God’s love for us gives us reason to share His love with other people that they may experience His grace, too. God demonstrates His love to a perishing world through those who have been redeemed lovingly telling other people of His glory that they, too, may enter into His fellowship for all of eternity. (Mark 16:15, John 20:21, Ephesians 2, 3:10, 4:11-12, 1 Peter 2:9)

Where the local church exists, God’s people will be sharing the Good News, discipling people to know God, and teaching people to obey Jesus Christ.  Christ’s Body, the Church, will stand for truth in the community, tend to the ill or injured, help the poor, and equip people for ministry. As His ambassadors, they will apply God’s written word to the way they live; caring for widows and orphans, establishing qualified leadership, and sending messengers to where Jesus Christ is unknown. 

Where the Church does not exist none of that is happening to the glory of God. 

Missions is about establishing thriving communities of Christ-followers as witnesses of God’s glory in places where there was no Gospel witness. It is about sharing the goodness of God that we have already received with people who have not yet had opportunity to hear, believe and receive Him. (John 1:12) 

Missions is about giving access to the Good News.  Billions of people and thousands of ethnolinguistic people groups still have no access to the Gospel. Nobody told them about Jesus Christ.
