God’s Call to Pray, Give, and Go
Why We Do Missions
My Availability…HIS ABILITY…Their Accessibility.
This is the essence of Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8. We must be available and obedient to pray, to give and to go. We must understand that our availability and obedience enables HIS ABILITY which gives us all we need to pray, to give and to go. Their accessibility (the accessibility of all peoples in all places – geographically, culturally, socio-economically), is their privilege and opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel and is intrinsically linked to our availability and obedience.
