Our purpose and vision for international missions flows out of Scripture. The Lord promised to Abraham that all the families of the earth would be blessed through him (Gen 12:3). God tells his people to declare his glory among the nations (Ps 96:3). The risen Lord Jesus commands his followers to go and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:19-20). And the worship of heaven pictures those redeemed by Jesus from every tribe, tongue, and nation exalting and praising the Lamb (Rev 5:9). God has highly exalted Christ the King, so that every knee should bow before Him, and every tongue confess him as Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:9-11).
