7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.
8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.
9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt.
10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town.
11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
A core value of the Alliance is : Lost People matter to God.

There is a well-known illustration by Ray Comfort about a man on a plane who is asked if he would like a parachute:
Two men are seated in a plane.
A stewardess gives the first man a parachute and instructs him to put it on as it will "improve his flight."

Not understanding how a parachute could possibly improve his flight, the first passenger is a little skeptical.
Finally he decides to see if the claim is true.
After strapping on the parachute, he notices its burdensome weight, and he has difficulty sitting upright.
Consoling himself with the promise of a better flight, our first passenger decides to give it a little time.

Because he's the only one wearing a parachute, some of the other passengers begin smirking at him, which only adds to his humiliation.
Unable to stand it any longer, our friend slumps in his seat, unstraps the parachute, and throws it to the floor.
Disillusionment and bitterness fill his heart because, as far as he is concerned, he was told a lie.

Another stewardess gives the second man a parachute, but listen to her instructions.
She tells him to put it on because at any moment he will be making an emergency exit out of the plane at 25,000 feet.

Our second passenger gratefully straps the parachute on.
He doesn't notice its weight upon his shoulders or that he can't sit upright.
His mind is consumed with the thought of what would happen to him if he jumped without it.
When other passengers laugh at him, he thinks, "You won't be laughing when you're falling to the ground!"

Let's now analyze the motive and the result of each passenger's experience.

The first man's motive for putting on the parachute was solely to improve his flight.
As a result, he was humiliated by the passengers, disillusioned by an unkept promise, and embittered against the stewardess who gave it to him.
As far as he is concerned, he will never put one of those things on his back again.
