Where has Jesus sent us? First to the Central Coast! That is where we are. But that is not where the ministry of Grace Bible Church ends.
Jesus final command was "You shall recieve power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you shall to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
Jerusalem and Judea were the cultural homeland of the first disciples. The Central Coast and most of the USA would qualify as our Jerusalem and Judea. Samaria was nearby, but culturally very different. California has a huge Hispanic population, but Los Angeles and other parts of California have huge ethnic communities that speak different languages, eat different foods, and need a cross cultural presentation of Jesus. But most of the lost live far away, in the huge Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist regions of the world. How will we bear witness of Him if we do not go, learn, and explore?
