Foothill Bible Church defines a missionary as a servant of Christ called to proclaim the gospel, often across geographical and cultural boundaries, in obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 24:45-47).   The church is entrusted with fulfilling the Great Commission.  Through missions ministry, the church participates in God’s plan on a world-wide scale.  Thus, global missions ministry should be a priority of every local church.  It is a way in which congregations and individuals fulfill the will of God.
