Why a World Mission Offering September 8 One of the greatest challenges God gave His church was, and is, that of missions. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). Each of us stands facing eternity, with the challenge and responsibility of helping others to know that God loves them, that in Jesus there is hope for the sinner, and that Christ is coming soon to put an end to all the misery, strife, war, bloodshed, and sin problems. Great and awesome is our task!
