God wanted all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.  To that end Jesus gave Himself to provide a salvation from all sin for all men.  In that He died for one, He died for all.  Contrary to our superficial thinking, there never was a distinction in His mind between home and foreign missions.  To Jesus it was all world evangelism.
