• In Matthew 2819-20, Jesus said,
• Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
  baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
  the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them
  to obey everything I have commanded you. And
  surely I am with you always, to the very end of
  the age.

• A confirmed contact (critical event) is
• when a person or group gives a clear
  presentation of the Gospel message of Jesus
  Christ
• when the receiver of the message responds by
  receiving the message, asking for more
  information, or rejecting it
