Purpose of RP Global Missions |
|
The Board aims to establish biblical churches comprised of God’s people who confess saving faith in Jesus Christ as their only hope in this life and the life to come, and who commit themselves to love and serve him faithfully as the scriptures direct. In considering requests for developing new missions, the Board will show preference to situations in which members of the RPCNA are, or will be available as, field workers.

The second element in the Great Commission is the establishment of the Visible Church with its ordinances of government, discipline and worship ( baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ). As Baptism is the initiatory rite of membership in the Visible Church, this command of our Lord is rightly understood as implying the divine requirement (later explicitly revealed in the New Testament Epistles) that converts won through evangelism be gathered into visible congregations of the Church, not only as a mark of their separation from the world, but for the glory of God and the spiritual benefit of the believers themselves, by social worship of God, instruction and exhortation in divine truth, mutual encouragement and sympathy, and other blessings of the communion of saints.

The purpose of this Board, as an organ of that branch of the Visible Church of Jesus Christ known as the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, is to carry on the work of missions in a fashion that is truly Biblical in its objectives, its motives and its methods. While the entire Bible of the Old and New Testaments is the infallible rule of faith and practice for the missionary enterprise as for all phases of the life and activity of the Church, a brief statement of the Church's missionary task is found in The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). From this Commission we learn that the task of world-wide missionary activity is enjoined upon the Visible Church by the authority of the Risen and Glorified Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. |
