LCMC and the NALC are challenging member churches to connect personally with global missions. This is not just a knee-jerk reaction to the past, but in fact is the Biblical mandate and model.

The early Apostles must have tragically misunderstood the Great Commission. Or did they? Judging by the practice of many denominations and the priority reflected in many church budgets, the Apostles should have stayed in Palestine to refine the disciple-making process, or possibly they should have worked in food pantries and homeless shelters or chaired their local church building committee. Or they could have focused on the latest media craze or youth ministry strategy.
