The Scattered Anabaptist Missionaries - Anabaptist (Matthew 28:18-20)
Early Anabaptists were hunted across Europe. Wherever they fled, they shared their faith. Persecution became mission; scattering became sending. They called it "missionary through martyrdom"—the blood of the witnesses planted churches. They had no mission agencies, no training programs, no budgets. They had the Great Commission and couldn't stop obeying it. "Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded"—including loving enemies, serving the poor, living simply. The Commission isn't just about words; it's about a whole way of life.
