We have learned that from the beginning God has had a plan for having someone from EVERY nation and language and tribe worshiping in heaven.
He WILL do it and we get to play a part in how God works out His plan.
Just like the missionaries you met were sent out by our church, we learn about some others who were sent out by a church a long time ago.
In the book of Acts, we learn that there is group of people who love Jesus and are praying for God to show them what to do. We can do that too! We pray and read God's Word and He tells us what we should do. They were praying and even going without food so they could keep concentrating and listening for God's answer.
We don't know how God spoke to all of them, but the Bible does tell us that God told them that two of them were being chosen for a specific job.
God told Barnabas and Paul to GO.
God told the rest of those praying to SEND them.
They ALL played a part in obeying the last thing Jesus had told them before going up to heaven.
Go make followers of all people in the world.
Tell people what you've seen me do--tell them in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to ends of the earth.
We too can all pray and ask God what He would have us do. Obeying Jesus last words to His followers means some of us will GO and some of us will SEND.
WE ALL PLAY A PART!
