Have you ever considered the fact that we have access to thousands of varieties of Bibles? That we have access to a variety of different Churches within driving distance of our homes to suit different styles of worship or teaching? We have Christian radio, Christian cable TV, Christian DVDs, Christian books, Christian schools to send our children to if we so desire, and even the possibility for children to be born and raised by Christian parents!? This contrasts with the very dark reality that exists within over 2000 entire people groups (nations) that have NEVER had the FIRST opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ. There are no Bibles or books, no churches, no schools, no radios or television, or even electricity. There is no possibility for a child to be born to a believing family… There is NO WAY for them to hear, no way for them to respond, no way for them to believe……… unless someone goes to them. It has been over 2000 years since Jesus commanded us to “GO and make disciples of ALL nations…” (Matt. 28:19-20) and today there are still over 2000 unreached people groups (entire languages)!
God has placed the reality of this burden on our hearts. We desire to go… to live with these people… to learn their language and ways… to teach them to read and write… to teach them God’s Word… to disciple new believers… to translate God’s written Word into their language… and to see a mature Church established and functioning in accordance with His written Word. This is what we desire, but to be frank, we can’t do it on our own… The task is much too impossible, too uncomfortable, too difficult, and too dangerous. That is why Jesus said “I will build my church” Matt. 16:18. God doesn’t need Jen and I, but He has chosen to use the foolish things of this world…. the weak… so that He will be glorified. We can’t do it alone… But we are convinced that as Christ’s body works together, each member doing its part, He will make His name known among the nations. We are willing to go, will you help send us?
