According to Matthew 28:18-20, 
\nJesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven\nand in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the\nname of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to\nobserve all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you\nalways, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<\/i><\/o:p><\/p>

Jesus is our example. He was not only issued this\ncommand\u2014the Great Commission\u2014but also modelled it by preaching the gospel and\ntraining His own disciples. The apostle Paul followed the same pattern,\ndevoting his life to evangelism and disciple-making. He wrote:<\/o:p><\/p>

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many\nwitnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach\nothers also<\/i> (2Timothy 2:2).<\/o:p><\/p>

We believe this mandate applies to every generation of\nChrist\u2019s followers, including ours.<\/o:p><\/p>

Jesus never intended us to pursue the mission in isolation, but\naccording to John 17:20-21 we must join with all churches \u2014 brothers and\nsisters in Christ to do this great work together with Holy Spirit as our\nleader.<\/o:p><\/p>

Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which\nshall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou,\nFather, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the\nworld may believe that thou hast sent me.<\/i> (John 17:20-21)<\/o:p><\/p>

Therefore, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we joyfully partner\nwith local churches of every denomination\u2014Protestant, Baptist, Methodist,\nPresbyterian, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Adventist, Lutheran, Salvation Army,\nCatholic, and others\u2014provided they confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and the\nonly way of salvation.<\/o:p><\/p>

Time and again we have witnessed the beauty of ministers\nfrom diverse backgrounds joining hands to fulfil Christ\u2019s Great Commission\ntogether.<\/o:p><\/p>
