God commanded us to go into all the world and preach the gospel unto every creature. Another way would be to raise up missionaries in your own church and send them to the place that God would direct. Bringing video and pictures to the congregation on the work that your church is involved in helps and especially if you take some of them with you to the area that you support will change their lives forever.

Preach about missions. Promote missions giving by being an example yourself. Invite missionaries to come speak to your church. Lead a group from your church on a missions trip overseas. Give generously and sacrificially to missions as a church. The interest and awareness of missions will never rise beyond the personal example given by those leading the church.
