Matthew 9:35-38   “There is no such
                   thing as a church
                     too poor to do
                        missions,
                  only churches that
                   are poor because
                      they don’t do
                        missions.”

More than 4 billion people in this world

Jesus said:


    GO!
        Here,
       There,
     Everywhere
Get up and GO!
  Our church is
  God’s mission
Get up and GO!
                             Our church is
                             God’s mission


Every church and every Christian is called
and gifted by the Holy Spirit to testify about
Jesus in actions and in words
Get up and GO!
                        Our church is
                        God’s mission



Mission is here, there, and far away
      -- all at the same time
Get up and GO!
                          Our church is
                          God’s mission



We are called to cross the frontier between
   faith in Jesus and no faith in Jesus
          -- wherever we find it
Get up and GO!
                            Our church is
                            God’s mission




The objective of mission is the transformation
     of human life in all its dimensions:
           personal and communal
Get up and GO!
                   Our church is
                   God’s mission




The church doesn’t DO mission,
     the church IS mission
Get up and GO!
  Our church is
  God’s mission
