The Christian Church A Missionary Enterprise Message
Rev C Brown Gox urges unity of home and foreign missions before the United Synod in Charleston. He argues the Christian church must be permanently missionary, using the Apostolic model, and questions church lethargy and underfunding. He cites early Christian reach and modern resources as proof the world can be evangelized if believers sacrifice wealth and time. He closes by urging pastors to make missions central to preaching and church life.
