These timeless principles offer guidance and inspiration for contemporary Christians, encouraging them to spread the Gospel with resilience, humility, and a deep reliance on God. This journey not only broadened the geographical scope of Christianity but also reinforced its universal message, establishing foundational practices for future missionary endeavors and the growth of the global Christian church.
