If you do not know this information…

command to leave his own country to a land he did not know. He and his descendants’ journey was full of uncertainty and challenges, but God’s command and promise led them step by step, generation to generation to see the glory of God. Christian Mission is like the journey to the Promised Land. In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded the disciples to “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…

Latin America is a formidable topic to take on, but Roland Joffe accepts the challenge in his movie The Mission. The film, which is based on true events, is set in northeastern Argentina and the western Paraguayan jungle during the 1740s. Fr.

“The Indians are once more free to be enslaved by the Spanish and Portuguese settlers.” This ironic statement made by Cardinal Altamirano (Ray McAnally), sets the tone for the beginning of the film, The Mission. The blunt, soullessness of this statement is not lost on the Cardinal, as he instructs his assistant to start the letter to the Pope over.

My first mission trip was for an organization called 1Nation1Day through my church, Milestone, back home in 2013. The goal was to save the nation of Honduras in one day and continue to pour out love and support to the Hondurans so that they may be disciples for a lifetime.
