Wayland Mission Center
Partnering with churches in the Mission of God by equipping, empowering, and encouraging
students to join God's work in local and global settings.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given
to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:18-20).
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8).
