Connecting People with God and One Another
A Message from Rev. Mark Byrom
Great Commission Sunday
Growing up, I remember my home church focusing on people who
hadn’t heard of the love and hope found in a personal relationship
with Christ. I also kept up with the news, and read about the huge
physical and spiritual needs around the globe. Realizing this was a gap
in need of a bridge, I answered the call to go and become part of what
The Christian & Missionary Alliance is doing around the world.
The C&MA is part of a Christ-centered global movement with
700+ U.S. workers serving in 70 nations. Read Acts 1:8 and you will
understand part of our DNA. Because of who Jesus is and what He
has done, we are compelled to “go!” Humbled by the open invitation
He extends to us, called The Great Commission, we join in Christ’s
work to restore and reconcile lost and broken people to Himself.
Sending Sunday is not only an opportunity to give to C&MA workers,
but a time to ask the Lord how you can be a part of His Great
Commission. Could it be He’s asking you to experience cross-cultural
ministry through short-term missions or to perhaps serve for
a longer term? Maybe God is moving you to adopt a missionary
worker or family to pray for and support, or to connect with one of
our sister churches. There are countless ways to take part. Let’s ask
the Lord how we should pray, give, and go.
