Abstract

This paper explores the importance of clarifying the purpose of Christian missions in the context of the general concern for the meaning and objectives of religious activities. It emphasizes the necessity of a clear and biblically grounded understanding of missions to prevent deviation from divine objectives tin favor of institutional goals. The diversity of missiological interpretations—ranging from the proclamation of the Gospel and the establishment of justice to cultural adaptation—reflects the complexity of this field. The paper highlights that missions must combine proclamation with good deeds, underlining the importance of prayer and spiritual empowerment in confronting the forces of darkness. Finally, it emphasizes the calling of Christians to be a light in the world, participating in God's mission to bring knowledge, hope, and salvation to all peoples.
