Spreading the message of salvation to all nations is a central theme in Scripture, with Jesus commanding His disciples to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" in Mark 16:15. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 further emphasizes the importance of making disciples of all peoples. As the early church grew, leaders like the apostles focused on prayer and ministry, entrusting other responsibilities to dedicated servants, as seen in Acts 6:4. The apostle Paul, a prime example of a missionary, encouraged young Timothy to be an example to others in 1 Timothy 4:12, and in Acts 1:8, Jesus instructs the disciples to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.
