Mission is not a program that begins with human enthusiasm; rather, it is the heart of God that runs throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, and is a fundamental reason for the church’s existence.

Lord exalts
should humbly lower
themselves even more
and serve their
neighbors as Jesus did.
