What does the Bible say about missionary work?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that Christ sends His church to proclaim the gospel to every people, trusting God to save through the message of His crucified and risen Son. In Matthew 28:19-20 and Mark 16:15, Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples, baptize believers, and teach obedience to all He commanded. Acts 1:8 shows that this witness is empowered by the Holy Spirit, while Acts 6:4 highlights prayer and the ministry of the Word. Romans 10:14 explains the necessity of preaching so that people may hear and believe. Every Christian may bear gracious witness, using received gifts faithfully and giving a reason for hope with gentleness, as 1 Peter 3:15 and 1 Peter 4:10 teach.
