All in for the Great Commission

Something powerful has been happening in me this year, and I truly believe it is God at work in my heart.

Ever since I was able to read, I have taken God at His Word. By His grace, I have always had a childlike faith. This is how God has been transforming me over the years: I read His Word, I believe His Word, and the Holy Spirit helps me in my weakness to grow more and more into His image.

This year, I have been deeply challenged by the reality and urgency of the Great Commission. If people all around me are perishing because they do not hear and therefore cannot believe the Gospel, and if I am called to contribute to the Great Commission, then this places a tremendous responsibility on my life to be all in for the salvation of souls.

I want to be honest with you. I often find myself battling fear. I feel the weight of this calling. I fear that if we do not share the Gospel, people will be lost for eternity. And I feel the tension that if I call us into deeper discipleship and bold obedience, some may choose to step away, as we have already experienced over the past couple of years. This fear can feel paralysing.

But I am convinced, by the Word of God and the Spirit of God, that our mission is the Great Commission. So I am choosing to trust God with my fears, and I am asking you to do the same.

Let us take steps of faith together — devoting ourselves to the Great Commission through prayer, discipleship, and evangelism. Let us be the Great Commission church we are called to be. I love you dearly. 🙏🏼
