As the others said you will find it in Matthew 28:19,20 - 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
By this you know who are the true persons who is really disciples of Jesus.

Could the Bible not just be the work of simple minds?
In some remote jungles of the world, you will find tribes that have rarely (if ever) seen a human being from a different race. They’ve never seen technology. Things like radios, cameras, mobile phones, guns, aeroplanes would be mind boggling to them, so much so, they would probably think you were from out of this world.
There’s a good chance such people would think of you as some type of God, or others would be threatened by your presence, string you up, and stick spears into you until you were dead. Fortunately for you, you may not be dead, and others in your exploration group could revive you, heal you, and within 3 days you’re on your way again.
Years later, how do you think those simple minded tribes will explain what happened, and what will their story sound like in 2000 years time? What do you think really happened 2000 years ago? Could the Bible not just be the work of simple minds?
It's very likely that the truth was something to the effect that "you lot are dangerous nuts and you should be sent to the four corners of the world to learn how to be civilised." Perhaps the Bible issues were misunderstood back in those days.

The Great Commission was to go throughout the world, preaching the Word and baptizing everyone possible.
Jesus wanted the disciples to establish his Church to convert all nations.
Jesus always preached love--and his wish would have been that they persuade people to belief, and that he would do so through faith and nonviolent means.

The biblical answer you're looking for is probably "Go ye therefore into all the world making disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
Although this command wasn't exclusive to his disciples then... but at the rate today's Christians follow the command... we should be rid of Christianity in a few short decades.

Matthew 28
The Resurrection
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
The Guards' Report
11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' 14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
The Great Commission
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

To learn the truth taught by the Comforter.
14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
(King James Bible, John)
