"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."
Matthew 28:19
Do you know how many people have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel? 3.43 billion people. That’s 42.4% of the world population. Nearly half of the world has no knowledge of Jesus. In Matthew 28, Jesus commanded his disciples, “Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” This Great Commission extends to every Christian! You and I have the responsibility to share the Good News with people around the world, and it is why we at Hernando Baptist go to our neighbors, our state, our nation, and our world, sharing the Truth that Jesus came to seek and to save.
Would you join us as we teach others about Jesus? Below are mission trips you can sign up for, ministries we are involved in, and ways you can pray for the lost. The Great Commission has not yet been fulfilled, but it will be one day! Take part in this God-given commission alongside the people at HBC.
