Missions Rally

A Highlight of the week at the General Council for the Christian and Missionary Alliance is the Missions Rally.

As the service is started our missionaries parade around the auditorium carrying the flag of the country in which they serve. For me it is a reminder of what makes the C&MA so great. From the beginning, the C&MA has always been a movement of people dedicated to preaching the gospel to the nations.

In Matthew 24:14, Jesus reminds us that the spreading of the gospel is not just a task for a select few — it’s the heartbeat of God’s plan for the world. The gospel of the kingdom is not just good advice; it is good news that through Jesus, people from every nation can find life, hope, and salvation.

This is the Mission of Jesus and  as His followers, we’re invited to participate in this great mission. Whether by going, sending, praying, or giving, we each have a role. This verse assures us that God’s purposes will be fulfilled. The gospel will reach all nations.

Scripture:
Matthew 24:14 - This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Application:
In what ways can you be part of God's global mission today? Pray for the nations or people group that still has not heard the gospel. Pray for our missionaries who are going and consider how you can join them on mission for the Kingdom.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for including us in Your plan to reach the world with Your gospel. Help us to be faithful in sharing the good news and to live in a way that reflects Your kingdom. Use us to be a light in our communities and beyond.
