At the time of William Carey, the Church limited the directive of Matthew 28:19 to the Apostles. Since Carey's day the Church has tended to view this "commission" as a personal one. But I think we should consider the possibility that it belongs to the Church.
Only the Church can go to every nation. Only the Church exists to "the end of the age." Only the Church should baptize. The Church is where both Evangelism, Discipleship, and teaching flourish. And only the Church can teach "all things."
I'm only being suggestive, but it seems worthy of consideration!
