Come and see that the Lord is good, His mercies are new every morning.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age'” |
This command is for all of us, everyone who claims to follow Jesus. Whether you are making disciples in your work place, in your family, at your school, on your sports team, with your peers, in the lineup.
This is what going, baptizing and teaching has looked like for us this past year.

The call is to the ends of the earth so lets do it, lets reach the beach with the good news that Jesus has come to save us.
