Placing priority on our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Bringing glory to God is the ultimate goal of missions, that Revelation 5:9 would be fulfilled so that people from every tribe, tongue, people and nation will be present worshiping God when heaven and earth come together. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) encourage us to align our lives to love God and others and spread the love of Jesus.
One's first priority is to be a disciple of Jesus and nurture their own relationship with Jesus, especially when working in vocational ministry. Matthew 22:37-39 says, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Our identity is that of beloved disciples who make disciples, who then make more disciples, thus fulfilling the Great Commission to "go into all the world and make disciples of all nations baptizing them and teaching them to obey all His commands." All missions must have a discipleship component. Mission work without a plan for evangelism and discipleship is not fulfilling the great commission.
We’re so glad you’re here! We believe that effective missionary work is holistic, addressing the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of all involved. How can Healthy Missions support you as you seek to bring God's love and grace to the world?
