Global Missions

Jesus' final commandment was to go and make disciples of all nations and we're committed to making that happen.

Our Aim

As this mission shares the gospel, our aim is to make disciples of Jesus who can reproduce. As an oak tree grows from an acorn into a large, strong, firmly rooted tree, it also becomes a seed bearer that produces many more acorns. These acorns become oaks that become forests. As a poet once expressed: "The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." This is the vision we have for planting oaks of righteousness, by God's grace.

Why "oaks"?

Isaiah 61:3 speaks of "oaks of righteousness" - men and women who are the "planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified." These oaks of righteousness are the ones impacted by the Messiah (Isaiah 61:1-3) such that they will impact generations and nations (61:4). This is in the immediate context following the promise of Isaiah 60:22 about least ones becoming a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.
