Biblical Basis
Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 9:36-38
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because
they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful
but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field."
Colossians 1:28
We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with
all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
Romans 10:13-14
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
be saved."
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed
in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have
not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching
to them?
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
II Timothy 2:2
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of
many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be
qualified to teach others.
II Corinthians 5:14-15
For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that
one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for
all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves
but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing
to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect
will.
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole
world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will
come.
