Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are five of the biggest religions in the world. Over the last few thousand years, these religious groups have shaped the course of history and had a profound influence on the trajectory of the human race. Through countless conflicts, conquests, missions abroad, and simple word of mouth, these religions spread around the globe and forever molded the huge geographic regions in their paths.
The saga continues. The narrative is still being penned. Souls are still hanging in the balance.
People are still waiting at the other end of our obedience. – David Joannes
But the reality is that the colors of God’s redemptive salvation message have not yet permeated every corner of the globe.
In light of the world’s greatest lostness, in light of the moment when we could get the gospel into the hearts and hands of people more easily than any other time in this earth, we are backing up? What a tragedy if what happened next is that God would call us home, and then ask us, ‘What did you do? What did you do with what I gave you?’ The problem is that we don’t understand lostness! – Tom Elliff
In 1976 there were an estimated 17,000 unreached people groups on earth. Today there are just over 6,000 unreached people groups. That’s progress! But the task of taking the gospel message of God’s grace to every ethnic people group remains.
So here’s my question: How are you involved in global missions? I believe everyone has a part to play, not only in local missions, but in exporting local church ministries to the far ends of the earth.
So here’s an opportunity for you. I want to invite you to partner with Within Reach Global through your prayer and financial giving. We are going to places in Southeast Asia where people have still never heard the name of Jesus.
Hold the ropes. Lower us down into the goldmine of souls. Join our Monthly Prayer and Financial Support Team.
