				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BT McAllen defines missions as the ministry that takes place outside the four walls of our church with the focus on making disciples in our community (Judea), area around us of different culture (Samaria), and to the ends of the earth.</p>
<p><a href="http://aglobalconcern.org/?page_id=2"><strong>Local Church</strong>- <em><strong>Our Jerusalem or home base</strong></em></a></p>
<p>All of the ministries that take place within our four walls. This is foundation and power booster stage of our world level purpose. The stonger the local church, the stronger our world level purpose. This includes nurturing children, discipling youth, equipping families, counseling, fellowship, worship, sermons, building buildings, etc.</p>
<p><a href="http://aglobalconcern.org/?page_id=57"><strong>Community &#8211; <em>Our Judea or region of like cultrue all around us</em></strong></a></p>
<p>The pool of lost people that live within driving distance of our church that have made no commitment to Christ or our church. The community is our most natural platform in which to make God&#8217;s love visible.</p>
<p><a href="http://aglobalconcern.org/?page_id=69"><strong>Samaria- <em>Region next to us of a different culture</em></strong></a></p>
<p><em>A distinct ethnic group in another culture near to us</em></p>
<p><a href="http://aglobalconcern.org/?page_id=78"><strong>End of the Earth &#8211; <em>A distinct ethnic group in lands not considered near to us.</em></strong><br />
</a><br />
<strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
