“You were made for a mission.” Do you believe that? Do you believe God has
established a mission personally for you to do? The Great Commission found in Matthew
28:19-20 is given to everyone who follows Christ. I believe what this means, and what Mr.
Warren suggests, is that God has established a purpose and a plan for each one of us to
“go and make disciples of all nations.”
“Go” and “make” are two verbs that require action on our part.
Many times I have heard someone say, why do we need to go to a foreign country when
there are plenty of lost people right here? Yes, there are plenty of lost people all around
us. I’ll answer this question later .If you are not personally involved in foreign mission
work, I would like to challenge you to think globally - to consider what you can do on a
personal level “to make disciples of all nations.”
I have had the privilege of taking several mission trips with evangelists Michael and Jan
Gott to teach conversational English in Ukraine and Moldova.
Before going, I must confess, I had to look up the countries on a map to see where they
were located. I knew nothing about the people, their history and honestly, I never gave
them a thought.
My experience changed me – I am different. Serving side by side as the body of Christ
with my Christian brothers and sisters in Eastern Europe gave me a new perspective.
Though we spoke different languages, we understood the universal
language of Christ’s love. God replaced my “thoughtlessness” with
compassion. Now I “feel” something when I hear news reports about these
nations and their struggles.
