Missions begins and ends with the supremacy of God and worship of God. The missionaries that Raintree supports are seeking to spread the worship of Jesus Christ to all peoples of the world and to make disciples of those people for Christ. This philosophy is clearly displayed in Matthew 28:18-20 in the words of Jesus:
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
