Q

‘taking part in mission is no longer relevant in todays world’ agree or disagree

A

disagree

not all people know about God and his teachings

even some christians dont know about God fully

commission is not yet completed

jesus said to go make disciples of all the nations baptising and teaching them

mission is also compassion and loving actions

essential part of bringing kingdom of God about

it is still relevant as it brings good news

agree

jesus’ instruction was for his disciples, he never said to anyone else, so mission is not relevant

traditional mission is out dated
