The Great Commission / Matthew 28:19-20"19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

The Threefold Framework to Missions
The Great Commission manifests in three primary forms of participation: prayer, giving, and going. This framework, "Pray. Give. Go.", is the basis of Christ-centered missions. Because missions are inherently sacrificial, each tenet of the framework must be understood as such.
Pray.
Prayer is hard work. Set aside comfort and faithfully intercede for the spread of the Gospel and for those who serve in difficult places.
Give.
Give sacrificially. Support the work of missions financially with generosity that costs something, trusting God to use it for His Kingdom.
Go.
Some are called to go. Follow Christ wherever He leads, even when it requires leaving comfort behind and giving your life in service to Him.
