The Goal of every Mission Work

• Missionaries are commissioned to travel across the world to a different nation to proclaim the gospel. Mission trips vary from constructing a shelter to providing nourishment and medical care to others. The ultimate accomplishment that Christian missionaries aspire to do is proclaim the gospel to the different nations. This is from a specific Bible verse found in the book of Matthew where Christ, God’s only son, commanded His disciples to spread the Lord’s name to every continent on Earth.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

• Christian missionaries are followers of Christ who travel the world to share the gospel with non-believers. They set foot into a different culture and build relationships with others on the field they are serving in. This is to show others the truth of the gospel.

• A missionary may perform his or her work through formal teaching in a classroom or religious setting or through informal communication. Many missionaries perform acts of community building. The mission’s goal may depend on the skillset and education of the missionaries.

• A missionary with a background in education, for example, may serve as a teacher in another country. Missionaries with construction experience may use their skills and knowledge to help a community in need of building infrastructure.

• The most important duty of missionaries is to teach people about Jesus Christ and His great commandment to love God and to love others. This means ensuring that their actions not only fulfill a need but also are sustained after they have left the community. Many missionaries focus on the needs of the communities they are serving and integrate those needs with evangelism.
