“He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey…” – Mark 6:8

Jesus gave His disciples practical training in spreading the message of the Kingdom. He sent them with authority to confront darkness, in pairs for mutual support, and with minimal possessions to avoid worldly distractions.
