What are we doing?<\/p>\n
We are working to build the next wave of missionaries who will reach tribes of people who know nothing of Jesus!<\/p>\n
Eternity is a long time to be separated from all that is good! \u00a0That is especially true when the solution to our sin problem, the Good News about Jesus, is so readily available.<\/p>\n
On the highest authority in heaven and on earth, Jesus told us to go teach every ethnic group. (Matt. 28:18-20)<\/p>\n
We are on the crest of a wave of a generation of missionaries who have reached more unreached people groups\u00a0with the Gospel than all\u00a0previous generations combined.<\/p>\n
Yet there are still 2500 people groups who have not yet heard the Good News about Jesus. Our goal\u00a0is to deliver the Gospel\u00a0to each tribe and equip them to join us as Christ\u2019s ambassadors to the world. Reaching each one will require years of steadfast dedication and sacrifice.\u00a0They will not hear of God\u2019s glory and His grace through Christ until Christians intentionally train, equip, support and send someone to tell them.<\/p>\n
Obstacles which must be overcome include:<\/p>\n
God has given to this next\u00a0generation very many tools and resources to reach people in the most remote places on earth! Even 100 years ago many\u00a0of the resources\u00a0we consider common were not available to most people.<\/p>\n
Today, we have helicopters, aircraft, commercial airlines, boats, outboard motors, jet skis, ships, railroads, trucks, automobiles\u00a0and bridges to\u00a0get across\u00a0some of the most rugged terrain and wide bodies of water. We have a vast array of communications tools and access to pools of knowledge that are unique to our generation. \u00a0We have knowledge of history and the experience of others from which we can learn to be more effective than ever. We can communicate with experts just about anywhere in the world. We have radios, cell phones, satellite phones, smart phones,\u00a0computers, internet, email, social media, FaceTime, Skype. GPS has made navigation easy. Discovering and recording mysteries\u00a0has been enhanced through digital cameras,\u00a0video cameras in our pockets, tiny audio recording devices, electronic notebooks, linguistic tools and libraries of information about world cultures.\u00a0Distributing our message has been eased through\u00a0electronic Bibles, translation software, commentaries, video creation software, television screens, video projectors, web pages and digital distribution. \u00a0We have creature comforts like medicine, gas stoves, heating, hot water, automatic\u00a0water pumps, PVC plumbing, refrigeration, freezers, air conditioning, fans, foam mattresses, electricity, solar panels, batteries, generators, inverters, window screens, mosquito nets, plywood construction and\u00a0tin roofs to make life easier than ever wherever we go. Has it ever been easier to go and live near the ends of the earth?<\/p>\n
The thing we need the most to reach the world with the Gospel is still the same.<\/p>\n
We need people.<\/p>\n
We need people who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to tell people who know nothing of the God of the Bible. We need people who have great passion for the glory of God and the eternal souls of the unreached.<\/p>\n
Where will those people come from?<\/p>\n
Faith comes by hearing the word of God which is spoken by messengers who are sent.<\/p>\n
They will come from people who are making disciples and equipping saints for the work of the ministry.<\/p>\n
They will come from\u00a0gatherings of Christians\u00a0where the glory of God is faithfully revealed, where His heart for the unreached people groups is carefully made known and where personal sacrifice for His glory in exchange for treasure laid up in heaven\u00a0is made common.<\/p>\n
How will they get involved with planting reproducing churches among unreached people groups?<\/p>\n
Someone must\u00a0tell them of the needs and the opportunities. Someone must ask them to get involved.<\/p>\n
That’s where we come in. Our ministry involves pursing connections with future missionaries and the churches who will send them. Knowing precedes going. We help them connect with the information they need to make wise decisions.<\/p>\n
A team of Christians, our supporters, make it possible for us to devote our time and energy toward engaging the next wave of Bible teachers and church planters who will reach the unreached. They make it possible for us to inform, inspire and invite the next wave of missionaries.<\/p>\n
We are looking for the next wave of people who will dedicate their lives to reaching the unreached.<\/p>\n
