This article addresses the dilemma sometimes posed in a church, namely, whether it should prioritize home mission or foreign mission. The author explains that ultimately this is no dilemma, that the best support the home church can give to foreign mission is by being fully active in local evangelism.

This article considers whose responsibility within a congregation is the work of home mission. It shows from Ephesians 4:11-16 that the leadership is to equip the saints to fulfill the task of home mission or evangelism. It does consider the degree to which consistories, and possibly major assemblies, might be involved in the work of evangelism.
