Mission Seriously?

Jesus said that the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. So many Christians look forward to the end, the return of Jesus. Engaging in missions is the way we show we are serious about this hope.  Like the church in Korea who have a goal to send out 100,000 missionaries in the next 20 years; the Chinese church and Filippino church have similiar goals.  If we cut back on missionary interest, zeal, passion and budgets then we are not serious about the return of the Lord.
