Who do you have to thank for sharing the good news of salvation?
We are the result of mission and we’re invited to be passionate about it, pray for it, and play our part in it.
The goal is for God’s name to be glorified through the salvation of sinners; and Missions is the method. Throughout the Bible God chose to reach the nations through the preaching of His own people.
In this short introduction, Emilio Garofalo Neto helps us think through mission, the place it has in our world today, and our role in the mission of Christ. As you discover God’s heart for the nations through this little book, expect to have your own heart warmed – we should long to see God’s name being spread as far as possible.

It impressed me how Emilio masterfully treated this subject in less than one hundred pages. When he refers to ‘mission’ he is writing about the redemptive Work of God through all His servants (the workers) across the street and around the world. It is worth reading.
