Our Great Mission

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Do you have a personal mission statement? It seems like everybody nowadays has one. Like “to boldly go where no one has gone before.” And we as Christians are no different — we should have a target — a goal. This is not an uncontrolled stroll through the byways of life. We are not tourists, we are pilgrims. Our race has been clearly marked out by God’s Word. In 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul tells us that he has “fought the fight...he finished the race...he kept the faith.” How ridiculous it would be for a runner to show up at the New York Marathon and decide he did not like the course and start off in the wrong direction. Could he win the race? Of course not. Paul’s goal was to complete the mission Christ had given him (the same mission He has given to me and to you). This is to win people to Jesus, build them up in the faith, and send them to do the same. For more information on how you can finish strong, visit our website at www.sharelife.today.
