Continuing our March Missionary Month series, today we were blessed to hear from Chris Cooper of Cooper On Mission during chapel. Chris and his wife Lydia serve in Togo, West Africa with ABWE, a gospel-centered missions agency reaching the world through 1,000 missionaries in 89 countries.
Chris shared a powerful truth from Matthew 28:19: `Go, therefore and make disciplesโฆ`
The key verb here is MAKE. The focus isnโt on going, but on making disciplesโGodโs greatest calling for us. That means we donโt have to wait for a specific mission trip to start discipling; we can make disciples everywhere we go! Teachers are discipling our students, and students can disciple others wherever they are. Let`s take this calling to heart and live it out daily!
