Indigenous

The missionary endeavor is as ancient as the Word of God. Our task to make him known, to bring joy to the nations and glory to God, identifies us as his people. Our job must never change until he comes again to reign on this planet. Until then we must keep the essence of his commission as simple and straightforward as possible. There is nothing simpler than the message Paul gave to Titus on the little island of Crete nearly two millennia ago. May our generation obey this once again.
