And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching to them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28: 18-20).
Equipping the Next Generation: Training Youth for Outreach
