Go and do. Jesus commands it, and the world needs it. Word and deed go together. One without the other is not enough. We follow Jesus into all the world, and we follow his example in all we do. Mission mobilizer Paul Borthwick shows how proclamation and demonstration of the gospel go hand in hand. God gives us the Great Commission, Matthew 28's call to go wherever Jesus sends us, making disciples and proclaiming good news to all nations. And we become people of his Great Compassion, Matthew 25's vision for treating others as we would treat Jesus himself, caring for the needy and living justly. Borthwick offers practical ways for us to live out the Great Commission and Great Compassion in every sphere of our lives. Holistic discipleship means learning and looking, praying and giving, welcoming the stranger, simplifying our lives and standing with and for others on God's behalf. Small steps can make a big difference in the mission of God. Will you answer the call?
"Great Commission, Great Compassion is God's heartbeat, written by his passionate servant Paul Borthwick on the core of what the gospel really should bethe urgency, purpose, practice and proclamation of the Great Commission. It is a timely piece that redirects us to show love to our worldthe needed ingredient and the lifestyle that will drive us to fulfilling the master's ultimate task. It reveals the best way to appropriate our all (intellect, mind, strength, soul, talents and gifts) into expanding God's kingdom here on earth. It has the capacity to correct and change our many misconceptions about our possessions, intellect and energy. The church must be reminded that the very first step inand the last thing in fulfillingthe Lord's Great Commission in all its facets is to live out the gospel as it is: the Jesus style of doing, teaching in the best way ever. It is the unequivocal and sure way to enjoy true peace for everyone. Given the opportunity, I will make sure every young person, especially students, youths and youth mentors, and every discipler get a copy. It has the latent capacity and power to transform ungodly ambitions to God's missional agenda. I recommend this book for everyone who in practical terms is passionate and desires fulfilling the Great Commission with great compassion."
