Mission Outreach of Parkside First Baptist Church
The Great Commission: ”Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always , even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
The Blessings of Mission in Christ’s Name:
“And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness And your gloom wilt become like midday. And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your desires in scorched places.” Isaiah 58:10-11
