Great Commission
Disciples' final instructions
The Great Commission is Jesus's instruction to his disciples to spread his teachings throughout the world, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew: "Go and make disciples of all nations." It serves as the foundational mandate for Christian evangelism and missionary work.
The church's outreach programs are driven by the Great Commission.
