Kumasi, March 31, GNA – Pastor James Appiakorang, the Executive Director of Rescue M International, has called for urgent missionary mobilisation across the world.
He noted that unlike the days when Jesus declared that “the harvest is ripe,” current global events indicated that the harvest was now “overripe,” demanding greater urgency and action from the Body of Christ.
Calling on churches and Christian organisations to prioritise the training and equipping of more missionaries for the end-time harvest, Pastor Appiakorang who is on long term missions in the Middle East, noted that the Great Commission remained God’s greatest priority.
He was speaking at the launch of the Rescue M International, a missions organisation founded in Ghana, and driven by what it described as the LIFEGUARD Mandate.
This mandate teaches that every Christian has a responsibility to safeguard lost souls by reconciling them to God through Jesus Christ, and to care for weary hearts by leading them into true soul nourishment found in Him.
The organisation also partners with churches and Christian bodies to organise crusades, as well as train and support missionaries, particularly across Africa and Asia.
The Executive Director emphasised that the time had come for the Church to fully embrace its divine responsibility of rescuing the perishing and caring for the dying, a mandate given by Christ.
“We cannot claim to be Christians and hold on to scriptures that promise prosperity and good health while neglecting the clear command to go into the world and make disciples,” he stressed.
