Why We Go There?

Today we explore why the church invests in global missions while remaining faithful to local ministry. Reflecting on the Honduras 2026 mission trip, message emphasizes that serving overseas is not about neglecting needs at home, but about faithfully following Christ’s call to be His witnesses “in Jerusalem…and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). It highlights three reasons for going: first, because Jesus commands His people to go wherever He opens the door; second, because mission experiences deepen discipleship by transforming faith from theory into lived reality through service and life-on-life relationships; and third, because missions build lasting partnerships across generations, as seen in the church’s enduring relationship with Manantial de Vida in Honduras. These relationships encourage mutual growth and demonstrate God’s faithfulness over time. The message concludes by inviting the Honduras team to share personal testimonies that illustrate the life-changing impact of answering God’s call to go.
