Connection between Wars and Missions

Despite the presence of wars and rumors of wars, the mission of spreading the gospel will not be hindered. The passage in Matthew 24 makes a clear connection between military upheavals and the proclamation of the gospel throughout the world. Jesus' words assure that the mission will be completed in spite of, and sometimes even because of, nation rising against nation. Historical examples from the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War demonstrate how God worked through missions even during times of global conflict.
