World evangelism is very important to God. The fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) is our primary task (see section on GLM). The main emphasis of missions is to plant a local church in every community. The specific purpose of the Missions Ministry is to keep missions fresh and alive every week in the hearts and minds of the people so they may be involved in planting churches around the world. The people will be encouraged to get involved in the areas of:
- Prayer Support (1 Thessalonians 5:25)
- Financial Support (2 Corinthians 8:1-5)
- Planting Churches both at home and around the world (Acts 1:8)

Our annual World Missions Conference
is one of the most exciting and rewarding events of the year. Our desire is to reach people in our own
community and around the
world. More than five billion people
around the world have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel
message. Each is valuable in God’s eyes
and He does not desire that any perish (2 Peter 3:9). This means there is still much work for us to
do!

(the U.S., the U.S.A., the States, the United States, or America) is a federal republic in North America.
Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II, in which it was the only major power that escaped devastation, and especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 following the Cold War, the U.S. emerged as the world's sole superpower or hyperpower. Its economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

The region of the Americas where Romance languages — those derived from Latin — are officially or primarily spoken. Latin America is typically contrasted with Anglo-America where English, a Germanic language, predominates.
Definitions for what comprises Latin America vary. From a sociopolitical perspective, Latin America generally includes territories in the Americas where Spanish or Portuguese prevail: Mexico; most of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Territories where other Romance languages such as French (e.g., Quebec in Canada) or derivatives like Papiamento or Kreyol predominate are frequently not reckoned as parts of Latin America, despite French origins of the concept. Sometimes, particularly in the United States, the term "Latin America" is used to refer to all of the Americas south of the U.S., including countries such as Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados and Suriname where non-Romance languages prevail. Conversely, it is often used in Brazil to designate their Spanish-speaking counterparts within this area.
Geopolitically, Latin America is divided into 20 independent countries and several dependent territories. Brazil is by far the largest country of Latin America, both in area and population. Its official language, Portuguese, sets it apart from other Latin American countries which predominately use Spanish as their official language.

One of the seven continents of Earth which, in this case, is more a cultural and political distinction than a physiographic one, leading to various perspectives about Europe's borders. Physically and geologically, Europe is a subcontinent or large peninsula, forming the westernmost part of Eurasia and west of Asia.
Europe is bounded to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and–according to the traditional geographic definition–to the southeast by the waterways adjoining the Mediterranean to and including the Black Sea, and the Caucasus Mountains (in Caucasia). Europe's eastern frontier is vague, but has traditionally been given as the divide of the Ural Mountains and the Caspian Sea to the southeast. The Urals are considered by most to be a geographical and tectonic landmark separating Asia from Europe.
Europe is the world's second-smallest continent in terms of area, covering about 10,390,000 square kilometres (4,010,000 sq mi) or 2.0% of the Earth's surface. The only smaller continent is Australia. In terms of population, it is the third-largest continent (Asia and Africa are larger) with a population of more than 710,000,000, or about 11% of the world's population.

(Spanish: Caribe; French: Caraïbe; Dutch: Cariben; Portuguese: Caraíbas) is a region of the Americas consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (most of which enclose the sea), and the surrounding coasts. Located southeast of Northern America, east of Central America, and to the north and west of South America, the Caribbean is commonly reckoned as a subregion of North America.
Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the area comprises more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cayes. The West Indies consist of the Antilles, divided into the larger Greater Antilles which bound the sea on the north and the Lesser Antilles on the east, and the Bahamas which are northeast of the sea. Bermuda lies much further to the north in the Atlantic Ocean and is sometimes included in the West Indies. Geopolitically, the West Indies are organized into 28 territories including sovereign states, overseas departments, and dependencies. At one time, there was a short-lived country called the Federation of the West Indies composed of ten English-speaking Caribbean territories.

The world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia. At about 30,300,000 km² (11,700,000 mi²) including adjacent islands, it covers 5.9% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.3% of the total land area. With more than 840,000,000 people (as of 2005) in 61 territories, it accounts for more than 12% of the world's human population.

Sometimes used synonymously with East Asia, which may be defined in geographic or cultural terms to Russia's extreme northeast, coastal China, Taiwan, Japan, both north and south Korea, The Phillipines, and Vietnam. But it commonly encompasses the states and cultures of Southeast Asia, such as Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.
In Orientalist usage, it evokes cultural, as well as geographic separation, an exotic in addition to a distant locale. Far East never refers, for instance, to the culturally western nations of Australia and New Zealand, which lie even farther to the east of Europe than much of East Asia. Far East in this sense is comparable to terms such as the Orient, which means East; the Eastern world; or simply the East.
