Serve The World
Why global missions?
We serve a God that has promised to exalt Himself among the nations. And we are a people who are called to a mission to make disciples of all nations. According to the Word, we do not have the option to sit back and ignore the urgent spiritual and physical needs of those around the world. We are called to action. We have been commissioned to impact nations with the Gospel.
There is urgent spiritual need in our world. Over 1 billion people today do not have access to the Gospel. In addition, there are over 6,000 people-groups in the world that are still unreached with the Gospel.
There is also urgent physical need in our world. Today, over 26,000 children will die of starvation and preventable diseases. Furthermore, over 1 billion people lived on less than $1 today.
The testimony of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation is that we were created to enjoy God’s grace in relationship with Him, so that we may extend His glory to the ends of the earth. Matthew 28:19 commands and commissions us to “go and make disciples of all nations…”
Why College Students?
College students find themselves in a stage of life that allows them unparalleled opportunity to serve a few weeks, a few months or even a few years of their lives overseas engaged in the mission of Christ- “make disciples of all nations.” Whether it is a few weeks in-between semesters, during summer breaks, or even a year or two post-graduation, college students are afforded the opportunity to impact nations throughout their time in college.
Not only do students have great opportunity as far as time is concerned, they have an abundance of resources backing them as they go! There are many organizations and individuals who are willing to help students take the Gospel to the nations!
