What is mission?
We believe that God has spoken to the world through the life of Jesus Christ, and that every Christian has a role to play in God’s mission. Around the world, Christians and Christian churches try to make themselves signposts which point to the reality of God’s existence and the relevance of his words to people of every language, race and nation. “Missionaries” was the term used to describe people who often traveled long distances to put up new signposts in places where there had been no Christians and no churches. And in a world where it is even more obvious that people who live hundreds or thousands of miles from us are our neighbours, there is still a need for those who believe in Jesus, God’s son, not only to tell people about Him, but to put into practice his teaching on care for the poor, healing for the sick, justice for the oppressed and reconciliation for the divided.
