Meeting the Need

  • sending
  • all called to be world Christians

Not every Christian is called to be a missionary.
But every follower of Christ is called to be a
world Christian. A world Christian is someone who
is so gripped by the glory of God and the glory
of His global purpose that he chooses to align
himself with Gods mission to fill the earth with
the knowledge of His glory as the waters cover
the sea (Habakkuk 214).- Let the Nations be
Glad by John Piper
