Go into all the world...

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matthew 28:19-20

I love this picture. This is my dad doing exactly what the Lord had asked his disciples to do. A simple farmer from Texas, the Lord called him to minister in Korea and he landed there in 1954 right after the Korean war had come to an end. For over thirty years he preached the Gospel to the "nations" and baptized them. He sent hundreds out to mission fields to many nations from a small college that he established to what is now a University. The nations are hearing the Gospel, believing the Gospel, and living the Gospel.

This is what we are all called to do. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what you do, or where you are going...present the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Love the way Jesus loved and be a light to the world.
