Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He commissioned believers to preach the Gospel in every nation. He gave this commission to everyone—not just to those who are called to a pulpit ministry. In fact, sharing the Gospel shouldn’t be done only in a pulpit. Wherever we go—on the streets, in the nursing homes and prisons, on our jobs, at school, and so forth—we can bring words of life and healing to the hungry, thirsty, and needy. In essence, the world is our pulpit.

Over seven billion people are living today, and we must have a global vision to reach them. My son-in-law has a degree in international business. His schooling trained him to look beyond the community and nation that he lives in and think globally.

Coca-Cola is an example of a company with a global vision. I’ve traveled all over the world and have found that you can go into a restaurant where no one speaks English and say “Coke,” and they know what you want. That’s because Coca-Cola took their soft drink to the world.
