The authentic message of the gospel must be visible in the transformed lives of both messengers, men and women. As we give out the true sincere love of God we must be involved in loving service as well, as we preach the kingdom of God; we must also be committed to its demands of justice and peace. Although the missionaries have not given us the true sincere milk of the gospel to Africa, our primary focus still is to message all people to have the opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Yet Jesus not only proclaimed the kingdom of God, but he also demonstrated its arrival through works of mercy and power. We are then called today to a similar integration of words and deeds. In a spirit of humanity, we are to preach and teach, minister to the sick, feed the hungry, care for prisoners, help the disadvantaged and handicapped and deliver the oppressed. While we acknowledge the diversity of spiritual gifts, callings and contexts, we also affirm that good news and good works are inseparable.
