Praise the Lord with Me (Bless the Lord with Me), Great Jehovah, King Jesus, When I Think About the Lord, The Blessing, My God He Can Do Anything

What comes to your mind when you think of the word “missions”?

36 Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

INTRO (2 Corinthians 5:9-10, Matthew 28:18-20)
