Should you consider visiting a mission partner?

I used to be the senior minister at a church named after a Victorian missionary martyr - so I thought we’d better take world mission seriously, and therefore take our mission partnerships seriously, too.

But why should that be reserved for the handful of churches who think they ought to do that because of what they’re called?

World mission should be on the agenda of all our churches, and that means being on your agenda as well. I won’t go into the biblical justification; if you’re a minister, you’ve probably done that at Bible college. If you need a refresher, just look up the word "nations" in a concordance.
