The Motivation for Missions
Acts 1:8
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria. And to the end of the earth.
Matthew 24:14
And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.

Matthew 28:18–20
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.”

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
God ONLY blesses and ALWAYS blesses what we put under His authority!
2. Jesus’ Heart is for ALL People

How are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?

“And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
