Judea and Samaria
Judea and Samaria were the larger geographical regions further out from Jerusalem. It encompassed territory both familiar and unfamiliar to the first disciples. These areas were geographically accessible, but culturally diverse. In our age, we can look out to even greater distances than in the past because of the availability of transportation and communication. This step includes California, the United States, Canada and Mexico. We will endeavor to work in partnership with ministries and churches in North America to increase the impact of our witness that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
