“Those who are sent are to call the world to faith, so that relationships with God might be restored and people might have life. This is the primary purpose of the sending. The second task is confrontational. Those whom God sends are to tell the world the truth about itself. They reveal the world’s estrangement from God and bring its sin to light. They confront the world in order to startle people into awareness of their situation, so that they see their need for the life God offers. The two aspects of the sending work together”
