Our Response to God in Missions

Missions is our participation in God’s plan to reconcile his creation back to himself in Jesus Christ. We battle to advance God’s kingdom in a world that is sinful and broken. We all experience things in life that break our hearts and anger our souls to the point of declaring, “It’s not okay!” There is no shortage of injustice, corruption, oppression, disease, genocide, gendercide, starvation, homelessness, persecution, and evil in our world. Not only is there human suffering here on earth, but we live with the reality that there is the future eternal suffering of hell for too many people who are without salvation in Jesus Christ. We send missionaries and support partners all around the world as part of God’s mission because we are not okay with these facts. We are also not okay with a church that remains self-centered and indifferent. Believers who remain apathetic and powerless are not okay! Our lack of discipleship and disobedience to Jesus is not okay. These are not okay with God. This blog is a response to the question- What are we going to do about it?
