Obedience to Our Savior's Command

Brad Buser shares how an unassuming, bold youth Pastor led him to Christ and then how he and his wife, Beth, ended up in Papua New Guinea to plant a church among an unreached language group. Their story will challenge those who are discipling young people to teach the full truth of God's Word. In addition to inspiring many to step out in obedience to the Great Commission rather than waiting for "a call", everyone will be encouraged to walk in faith and do all they can to participate in the fulfillment of our Savior's final command. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth 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." Matt 28:18-20
