There are no Bibles or books, no churches, no schools, no radios or television, or even electricity. \u00a0There is no\u00a0possibility\u00a0for a\u00a0child to be born to a believing family&#8230; There is NO WAY for them to\u00a0hear, no way for them to respond, no way for them to believe&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; unless someone goes to\u00a0them. It has been over 2000 years since Jesus commanded us to &#8220;GO and make disciples of ALL nations&#8230;&#8221; (Matt. 28:19-20) and today there are still over 2000 unreached people groups (entire languages)!<\/p>\n<p>God has placed the reality of this burden on our hearts. \u00a0We desire to go&#8230; to\u00a0live with these people&#8230; to learn their language and ways&#8230; to teach them to read and\u00a0write&#8230; to teach them God&#8217;s Word&#8230; to disciple new believers&#8230; to translate God&#8217;s written\u00a0Word into their language&#8230; and to see a mature Church established and functioning in\u00a0accordance with His written Word. \u00a0This is what we desire, but to be frank, we can&#8217;t do it on our own&#8230; \u00a0The task is much too impossible, too uncomfortable, too difficult, and too dangerous. That is why Jesus said &#8220;I will build my church&#8221; Matt. 16:18. \u00a0God doesn&#8217;t need Jen and I, but He has chosen to use the foolish things of this world&#8230;. the weak&#8230; so that He will be glorified. \u00a0We can&#8217;t do it alone&#8230; But we are convinced that as Christ&#8217;s body works together, each member doing its part, He will make His name known among the nations. \u00a0We are willing to go, will you help send us?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever considered the fact that we have access to thousands of varieties of Bibles? \u00a0That we have access to a\u00a0variety\u00a0of different Churches within driving distance of our homes to suit different styles of worship or teaching? \u00a0We have Christian radio, Christian cable TV,\u00a0Christian DVDs, Christian books, Christian schools to send our children to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":954,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-79","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/954"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jon-myers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
