Missions, which is the fulfilment of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, is part-and-parcel of the Christian faith. A theological, exegetical, and practical approach has been adopted to study this subject, with due cognisance given to the history of missions and the observations and proposals of experienced missionaries. This biblical and holistic understanding of missions will have profound effects upon the local church ministry and the approach to missions. The local church is not only to be missions-minded but to be involved in missions by engaging in a definite programme of local outreach and wider church planting. An awareness of global missions -- ranging from tribal to urban outreach, homogeneous to cross-cultural evangelism, and past to present practice -- will give one a sense of direction, purpose and destiny.
