Church of God (Seventh Day): More Global Mission

The following was written by Whaid Rose, President of CG7, Denver:

Historically, the U.S.-Canadian Church has not seen itself as a global administration but as one among many conferences of the Church of God (Seventh Day) around the world. It was only in 1978 that the International Ministerial Congress was formed to foster doctrinal harmony and to coordinate the evangelistic efforts of its members. But through G. C. Missions, the General Conference is becoming more and more a church with global vision and more at ease with the term “world church.” Therefore, Cristo Viene is apropos because it calls the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.

The gathering of the congress in Overland Park this summer is a good opportunity to observe the increasing global presence of our church and the role of G. C. Missions in this growth.

It is good that CG7 is realizing that they should cooperate more and assist their brethren outside the USA and Canada.

The Bible itself says to preach to the whole world. Hopefully, the leadership there at CG7 will also realize that understanding biblical prophecy correctly also should be part of the mission.
