Mark 16:15-16“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel

to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”

To reach the un-reached

Why do we do missions?

“But you will receive when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and all in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Acts 1:8

“a people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group”

“The greatest obstacle of the church is the timidity and the cowardice of Christians. Prayer is absolutely necessary, but so is action! People will wait in vain for the world to Christianize itself simply by the prayers of the good. The apostles would’ve never conquered the world if they had not done the work of heroes and martyrs!”

Pope Pius X
