Missions is not the end.
Worship of God through the Gospel is the end that will continue forever. As week seek to live on mission with Jesus in the city, fulfilling His call of seeking and saving those who are lost, we realize that we are a small part of the story that has been unfolding for centuries. From the beginning, God has been passionately pursuing the nations. From Genesis 12 when God said that through Abraham all of the nations of the earth would be blessed to the culmination of time when all nations will worship Jesus around the throne, we realize that God is about the nations.
God has blessed us in order to be a blessing, which is another concept from Genesis 12. We seek to be a blessing throughout the world, partnering with those who are making disicples of all nations throughout the ends of the earth.
theGATHERING locks arms with partners around the world. Our partners take the gospel and meet the needs of the least of these. In view of the Great Commission, the only response is “Go, Send, or Disobey.”
