Missions - Global Outreach - Giving Back
Missions Church Orlando takes the Great Commission very seriously. We're going after and winning the lost because people last forever, we're eternal beings. 1 Timothy 1:4 says that God desires that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. ALL - everyone. Jesus told His first disciples, "...All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. " (Matthew 28:18-20).
Every person matters to us because they matter to God. There are no hopeless cases. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16-17).
Missions Church Orlando is involved in missions locally, nationally, and globally, where we take the love and life changing message of Jesus Christ, the news that is too good to be true, to a lost and hurting world! We are convinced that every believer needs to go on a short-term missions trip! Opportunities exist for training and equipping to accomplish this task. It will change your life!
Oswald J Smith, the great missionary statesman made the following statements: "You must go or send a substitute." "Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist." "We talk of the Second Coming of Christ; yet half the world has never heard of His first coming." Hudson Taylor, a missionary to China and the founder of the China Inland Mission said "God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply." An unknown believer said "No one has the right to hear the gospel twice while there remains someone who has not heard it once." Pastor John Piper said "Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God." Amy Carmichael, a missionary to India said "You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. And finally, Henry Martyn, a missionary to India and Persia said “The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to Him, the more intensely missionary we become.”
We currently support the following Missionaries in the Philippines, Thailand, Dominican Republic and the U.S. Here are some of the missionaries we support:

One day the Father and the Son were having a conversation and the Father said to the Son, "Ask of Me and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, the end of the earth for Your possession." (Psalm 2:8)
People matter to God and they matter to us. We must win the lost at any cost because people live forever. Jesus is worthy of receiving His full inheritance!
