At the heart of mission lies the mission of God. We were made by Him and for Him, to glorify Him, to worship Him and to delight in Him. He alone is worthy of all glory, honour and praise. He created us His image to represent Him and to reflect Him so that the whole earth would be filled with His glory. At the fall, when man rebelled against God, His image was defiled and in need of restoration and man was in need of redemption.

Throughout the Bible we see God’s redemptive plan at work, leading to the time when people from every tribe, tongue and nation will be gathered around the throne worshipping Him. God’s mission now is to redeem man, to restore His image and to establish His Kingdom here on earth, as it is in heaven. Our mission is to join with Him on His mission, seeking His kingdom and making disciples of all nations, for the sake of his glory.
