Mobilization of the church
for the work of global ministry
through prayer,
education, giving, and interactive experiences
throughout our community, and all the places ***** serves around the
world.
It is generally accepted that
each individual who makes up the Body of Christ, His universal
Church, is responsible to get the message of Christ's salvation to
the world. Each of us is called to be a "world Christian." We must
be reminded, however, that over 90 percent of the references to
the church in the New Testament are to the local church. God
values the life and ministry of local churches, the structure
through which He primarily works. His work is primarily
accomplished via relationships in and through local churches.
Therefore, to put it succinctly, God's mandate to reach the world
is primarily to individual believers who together comprise local
churches.

1 Cor. 12:12-13 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13 For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit.
