The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. The mission of the church is the mission of Christ; seeking and saving the lost. Whosoever will, let them drink from the fountain of life freely.
Our mission is to do good. Show the world the Kingdom of God on this earth so they will desire it and seek after it. The only God people will ever see is the God living in me.

Yours is a very, very narrow view of the mission of the church. There is a much broader, biblical mission of the church that seems to be mostly disregarded.
Church take over the earth? Jesus said, "My kingdom is NOT of this world." Trust the Word of God. He will never abandon his creation to the devil and total corruption by retreating in the face of the enemy. I call your rememberance to the stone that Daniel saw hewn out of the mountain without hands. The earth is the LORD'S and the FULLNESS thereof.
