“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

– Acts 1:8 (ESV)

RMPC’s involvement in missions is based on solid biblical thinking, defining how the whole of Scripture understands the missionary enterprise.  Missions, like all other things, is done for the glory of God.  An ultimate desire to see the name of God exalted among all peoples will result in a passion to take the gospel to the lost.  Our battle cry is:  “God is worthy of the worship of the nations!”  Our prayer is:  “Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven!”

The following Scriptures describe the purpose for missions activities:

• Jesus response about the greatest commandment is “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Mathew 22:37-39)
• To fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to go and make disciples throughout the world. (Genesis 12:1-3, Mathew 9:35-38, Mathew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:47, and John 20:21)
• To demonstrate Christ’s compassionate heart for those in need. (Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Isaiah 58:5-11, Isaiah 61:1-2, and Mathew 25:31-46)
• To encourage personal evangelism through relationships. (1Corithians 9:19-23)
• To mobilize our resources so that all can hear and understand the Gospel (Good News) in their own language. (Romans 10:13-15)
• To be Christ’s witnesses in our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the Ends of the Earth. (Acts 1:8)
