Matthew 28:19 says, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
I have been working on a Certification Project for the National Association of Church Business Administrators (NACBA) and the title is Communicating the Great Commission in the 21st Century. In recent months God has unveiled just what that needs to look like in order for churches to be effective. First, we can no longer go into the world telling people about this wonderful man named Jesus. We must go into the world living out of our relationship with Christ so that people see him through us and desire to have something more in life. Second, we must be willing to take church to where the people are. This does not mean negotiating core values or being inclusive just to be liked. It means meeting people where they are, meeting them in real life but also via Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Linked In, Friend Feed, etc. We must be willing to go to the fastest growing population of Social Media and bring Christ to where the people are. Both of these are must haves in order to effectively communicate the Great Commission today and in the future!
