Mission:

The command to give the gospel to the world is clear and unmistakable and this commission was given to the churches.

--"And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.'"
--"And he said unto them, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.'"
--"Then said Jesus to them again, 'Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.'"
--"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.!'"
