Why is mission work & outreach such a pivotal part of WMUMC?

It is right, and Jesus & God lead us to.

We can see it in the greatest commandments:

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He [Jesus] said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind,’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 

 Matthew 22:36-39

In the parable of “The Good Samaritan” found in Luke 10:25-37. We learn that our neighbors are not merely those who look like us or have similar upbringings. We are to love and have mercy for all.   

The lawyer recites that the law states that “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” The lawyer goes on to ask “And who is my neighbor?“ After Jesus conveys the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus asks the lawyer, “Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” The lawyer replies, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

We also see it in God’s greatest gift and sacrifice for us, all of us.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. 

John 3:16

May we, too, love and care for all of God’s people, all over the world.
