KINGS ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO DECLARE THE GLORY OF THE LORD

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Missions

a) The concept of crossing geographical or cultural boundaries to carry the teachings of God goes all the way back to the Old Testament. Missions didn’t start with the Great Commission, but has been a part of God’s plan since the beginning.  Take a look at what the Bible says about missions.

Isaiah 6:8
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
