Mission history is a profound testament to the unfolding narrative of God's redemptive plan for humanity, as articulated in Scripture. From the call of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, where God promises to bless all nations through him, to the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations, the Bible consistently emphasizes the importance of spreading the Gospel. The early church, fueled by the Holy Spirit as described in Acts 1:8, exemplified this mission, boldly proclaiming the message of Christ across diverse cultures and communities. The apostle Paul, in Romans 10:14-15, underscores the necessity of preaching, stating, "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed?" This highlights the urgency and responsibility of believers to engage in mission work. Furthermore, the promise of Revelation 7:9, which envisions a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language worshiping before the throne, serves as a powerful reminder of the ultimate goal of mission history: the glorification of God through the gathering of His people. As we reflect on the history of the faith mission movement, we are reminded of our calling to participate in this divine mission, echoing the heart of God for the lost.
