The Great Commission

[Jesus said] Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. [Matthew 28:19, 20]

The Great Commandment

About Salem Missions

Salem Lutheran Church is an active mission-sending congregation.  We take seriously Jesus’ great commission, found in Matthew 28: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  As such, we send out two teams each year to Kenya, in addition to the two teams each year that go to Honduras.

Vision for Kenya congregations, in partnership with LCMS World Mission, are striving to build strategic partnerships for the sake of the gospel.   The Vision for Kenya invites other congregations to join them in this effort to “use the Great Commandment to accomplish the Great Commission.”  Our model is to sponsor health clinics that draw large crowds to various sites in Kenya, often one thousand people a day; each client entering the clinic receives both the gospel message as well as the treatment for his eyes.
