For the church to grow, the gospel must be taken to those who have not heard of Jesus Christ. The task of foreign missions was one of the key reasons why the Protestant Reformation expanded beyond the boundaries of western Europe. This work continues today. One of the most encouraging developments today is the growth of Christianity in the non-western world. Yet the need is still great both here and abroad. This session explains why the way forward in forging a new reformation is faithfulness to the Great Commission, looking at how believers are called to bring the gospel both to their own communities and to the nations.
