In the midst of His own ministry, Jesus Christ sends out His disciples on a mission, well before the Great Commission. They go with only a few things, as they are relying on His power, even over demons. He sends them, just as God called Amos from his agriculturally-oriented work to be a prophet, which he mentions in rebutting Amaziah's repulsion.
We share in this mission of proclaiming repentance that the disciples performed, a turning from our ways to God's ways, because of the marvelous work of salvation God has chosen to work in us, as St. Paul writes of so eloquently in the 2nd reading.
