The Great Commission

Video Illustration

Produced by Ministryflix

Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. BUT... don't forget your own backyard. So often we think of missions as short or long term international trips, but God commissions the doctors, lawyers, and businessmen of main street to spread his Word as well. This creative and inspiring video used snowglobes from around the world to inspire short term mission trips, long term callings, and even the daily commission we should remember every morning when we wake.
