Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,to preach the the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Responding to the Call
We are committed to helping preach the gospel to the regions beyond Austin through the Faith Promise Missions Giving Program. This is only made possible through the faithfulness and generosity of individual members. We believe that investing in the gospel of Jesus Christ will leave an eternal footprint in the souls of men.
