My Great Commission
By Terry VanLeeuwen on April 15th, 2017
Matthew 28:16-20 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Mark 16:15-20 Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned” …After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
It makes my heart so happy to share with you, that our congregation, at Living Hope Church in Englewood Florida, supports a good number of missionary ministries, at home and abroad. When you give to support missions you are partnering with that ministry, to bring souls into the Kingdom of God, and meeting needs. I encourage you to ask the Lord what He wants you to do in Giving and Going and to remain faithful.
Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58)
In Love,
Terry VanLeeuwen
