July 2013: Global Evangelism Month
All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Mt. 28:18-20).
In some of His most definitive words, Jesus called His disciples to teach others the very things He had taught them during His earthly ministry. However, such disciple-making would require “going.” This “going” is at the very heart of Christian living.
At the Forum, we have officially dubbed July 2013 as “Global Evangelism Month.” Through each post this month, we hope to convey to readers the multi-faceted and always-relevant task of “going”—or what we commonly associate with missions.
As we will see through this month, Christian mission requires that we understand what God is doing through global evangelism. It calls us to support others engaged who are “going.” Finally, Christian mission even asks that we honor and learn from the example and testimony of missionaries in ages past.
