The Great Commission
Our Lord Jesus, before ascending into heaven, entrusted His church with a profound mission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19). This command, when Jesus spoke of “all nations,” was not limited to political boundaries. The Greek word translated as 'nations ' is ethne, which in English is ethnic, which refers to distinct people groups. Today, there are over 6,600 such groups who have yet to hear the gospel of Jesus, making this mission all the more crucial.
Given the magnitude of this mission, Del Rey Church has taken up the mantle of supporting missionaries and philanthropic organizations. These individuals and groups are dedicated to reaching the unreached people groups of the world with the gospel of Jesus. By engaging the culture and challenging them with the gospel, they help others see the world through a biblical lens.
On this page, you will find links that will allow you to get to know each of these missionaries and organizations better. It is our desire that you use this information to pray for and support them more effectively. In addition, we hope you will personally be drawn deeper into this task and better understand the central focus it ought to hold in our local church.
In his book “Introducing Global Missions,” Zane Pratt poses a thought-provoking question: “. . . We all have a role to play . . . We are all called to global missions if we are recipients of His saving grace . . . What is the level of involvement of your church, your family, or your life?” This question is not rhetorical; it's a call to action for each one of us.
We pray that this information will help you get involved in this task as you prayerfully lift up those serving long-term.
