The Why of Missions

“That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else” (1 Kings 8:60).

Missions started with Abraham being called out. Today’s Bible verse gives the reason he was the first to be chosen to go and serve the Lord. It is the same reason God still calls people to go and spread the gospel at home and to all the ends of the earth.

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul was chosen to do mission work. His name could also appear on the list of those that others would have found unlikely to be found connected with Christ. However, when God took control of Paul’s life, he developed a passion for souls. He labored tirelessly and faced much adversity as he promoted the gospel to the then known world.

Since the inception of FWB missions, there have been many who have been called out to labor at home or abroad. The world is white unto harvest. More are needed to answer the call to go and spread the gospel. There are still many people on the earth who do not know “that the Lord is God and that there is none else.”
