“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)

Throughout the centuries, the Church has played a vital role in equipping, supporting, and caring for missionaries. Through prayer, financial assistance, and spiritual encouragement, the Church has remained a carrier of the missionary calling. Yet, the question remains: Does the Church today still carry the same passion and commitment for missions as before?

It is an invitation to rediscover what it means to be part of Jesus’ Great Commission, and to boldly declare once again: “Here we are, Lord — send us!”
