Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction. 2Tim.4:2

Dear friends of Missions,

In the midst of turbulent times, Paul's words are spot on. The focus is on practical help for those in need. The preaching of the Word does not seem to fit here. But wait - it is the message of the gospel that teaches us to love our neighbour. Jesus blesses those who show mercy. And the concept of sharing so everyone can get through is the bedrock of Christ culture. This means that today especially we are called to preach the Word of God and thereby lead our fellow human beings to God's heart - the source of salvation.

Mission is primarily the task of the kingdom of God, namely to go to nations and people groups - and to take the message of God. When people become disciples of Jesus, a society is transformed, from within. This commission is more pressing in our day and time.

More than ever, people are looking for peace, something to put their hope in. How many recognize that much is only superficial, and that real security lies only with God. This is why we are looking for “missionaries” like you who are ready to bring hope to the people now and turn their eyes to the Saviour. Come and help us train the young people in the Bible schools. Help us to support the staff for the churches and social projects. That is how multiplication will work.
