The Mission

We live in a world at war, an ongoing battle between light and darkness, good versus evil. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and declared the gates of hell would not prevail against His advancing Kingdom (Matt. 16:18). The Church has been called to conflict. The purpose of the book is mobilizing the local church to the ends of the earth and advancing the Kingdom of God.
