- 14. An appeal from your mission committee . . . . When our Lord was about to depart to heaven, He gave to His beloved disciples their assignment: they were to be endured with the power of the Holy Spirit, and in that power they were to witness “to the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8). One day the day of grace will come to an end. There is still room in our Father’s house. But soon the door will be forever closed. God is undeniably the author of missions. It is the whole duty of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world. Be an opener of doors in Charlotte, the Appalachia Mountains, Philippines, Peru, Haiti, Ghana . . . It does not matter where . . . Commit your time, talent, and resources. No gift is too small no amount of effort is too small. Christ’s last command should indeed be our first concern. Missions!
