"Go into all the world and proclaim
the gospel to the whole creation. "
Mark 16:15
The church has an awesome message.
Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:7-11.
To not tell others this Good News would be selfish. That is why we as a church support missionary organisations, and that is why we encourage our youth to be involved in summer outreach teams.
