mission

There are two commandments that Jesus gave His disciples before He ascended to heaven.

The First one is in Matthew 22:37-39 " Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself"

The second on is in Matthew 28:18-20 talking about the great commission: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

I believe that these two verses should be the foundation of my mission here on earth. I have received the Jesus, I have come to experience His grace on my life. Therefore, what's next? God does not want us to keep the truth for ourselves. He wants me to share it with people.

We are living in a time right now where there is more opposition in the church than any time in history. Especially when it comes to the young generation (millennials, generation X), this world is stripping back biblical values. We are living in a time where there are more depressant medicine and suicidal rates than anytime in history. People are lost and so many are dying without hearing the gospel. Many are dying without having a correct understand of the gospel. They have a skewed perception of the gospel. On the other hand, It amazes me that there are actually people out in the world right now who still have no access to the gospel. They are depending on society to define their identity and shape who they are. They are putting their hope on false religions and belief. People are in need of the love and grace of Jesus more than ever.

I believe that my mission is to be the light of the world with the Gospel. I believe that my mission is to love others with the love of God That means caring for those who are outcast, marginalized, and hard to love. God put me in this time, place, and season for a purpose. I want to be city on Hill. I want people to have a true encounter with God, to be so in love with God that everything else in the world does not matter. It is only through Him that they are able to find their true worth and true identity. I want to tell people that they are loved, valuable, and chosen. My mission is simply to be a testimony of God's grace and abundant love.
