LIVING MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL

An International Ministry of Reaching, Preaching and Teaching

“Why should some hear the Gospel twice, when others have never heard it once?” Dr Oswald Smith

This great motto has challenged us to reach out to the areas of the world where millions have not yet heard. Our mission is to share Christ in those places where great evangelists do not get to and yet, where the need is so great.

The task of world evangelism is the responsibility of every Christian.  The Great Commission makes this very clear. “And then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-20
