How to live out the Great Commission and the Greatest Commandment in a modern world
The Great Commission isn’t just a command — it’s a call to action for every believer. When Jesus told His disciples to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19–20, NIV), He wasn’t just talking about evangelism but about transforming lives through faith, service, and love. Today, the Church continues this mission by reaching the lost, feeding the hungry, and caring for the most vulnerable. But how do we practically live this out? In this article, we explore the meaning of The Great Commission, how it intersects with World Vision’s global work, and what it means for believers today. Whether through missions, sponsorship, or local outreach, every Christian has a role to play in fulfilling this calling.
