This document outlines Jesus' mission and how He calls Christians to continue that mission through evangelism. It provides Jesus' mission statements from the Bible to preach the gospel and make disciples. The mission statement of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is also given. Christians are called to mission as representatives of Christ, mingling with people to meet their needs and win their confidence before inviting them to follow Christ. God's plan for mission relies on His Spirit, not human might, and involves the cooperation of angels. Christians are given promises that if they devote themselves to Christ, the gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes. A five-step plan from the Bible is provided for effective mission: calling, response, training

2. Overview
Jesus’ statement of His mission:
Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV)
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

3. Overview
Jesus’ statement of mission to His church:
Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)
Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.”

4. Mission Statement of the Seventh-
day Adventist Church
 The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church is to make disciples of all people,
communicating the everlasting gospel in the
context of the three angels’ messages of
Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept
Jesus as personal Savior and unite with His
remnant Church, discipling them to serve Him
as Lord, and preparing them for His soon
return.
 When the church began, our mission placed us
among people who had traditions of Christianity.
 Today, however, mission takes us to populations
that are rooted in other world religion.

5. Call to Mission
DA297 “As His representatives among men, Christ
does not choose angels who have never fallen, but
human beings, men of like passions with those they
seek to save. Christ took upon Himself humanity,
that He might reach humanity. Divinity needed
humanity; for it required both the divine and the
human to bring salvation to the world. Divinity
needed humanity, that humanity might afford a
channel of communication between God and man.”

6. Formula for Mission
AA262 “One of the strongest evidences of
true conversion is love to God and man.
Those who accept Jesus as their
Redeemer have a deep, sincere love for
others of like precious faith”

true success in reaching the people. The
Saviour

4) won their confidence.
Then He bade them, “Follow Me.”

DA287 “We are to be laborers together with the

With almost impatient eagerness the angels wait

to communicate with man. And when we give
ourselves to Christ in wholehearted devotion,
angels rejoice that they may speak through our
voices to reveal God’s love.”
