Did you know that approximately 2,000,000,000 people have no opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ?\u00a0 They are considered the \u201cunreached.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you know that approximately 2,000,000,000 people have no Scripture in their language and virtually no Christians living among them through whom they can experience Christ\u2019s love?<\/p>\n

Did you know that out of the 6,900 known languages in the world only 5% have a complete Bible, 28% have portions of the Bible and 67% have no Bible in their own language?<\/p>\n

Jesus Christ has sent us out into a very large harvest field (Matt 9:37-38).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe harvest is great, but the workers are few.\u00a0 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Jesus Christ\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jesus felt \u201ccompassion\u201d for the lost and hopeless (Matt 9:36).\u00a0 His heart for people is still the same.\u00a0 Jesus told His disciples to pray for people who will go to the hopeless of the world, and then He sent them.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Jesus wanted to knit His disciples\u2019 hearts together with His.\u00a0 He wants to do the same with our hearts.\u00a0 Jesus wants us to \u201clook\u201d at people the way He looks at them, with love and compassion (John 4:35).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The apostle Paul opened his letters letting his friends know that he prays for them (Col 1:3-12).\u00a0 Please know that we are also praying for you.\u00a0 We thank God for you (Phil 1:3-4).\u00a0 We pray for how God will use you in the \u201cfield\u201d He has already placed you in.\u00a0 We also pray that the lives of each one of us will bring glory and honor to our Savior as He uses each of us to reach into people\u2019s lives with the love of God found only in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

We ask you to pray with us as we follow in obedience to God\u2019s direction in our life and ministry.\u00a0 Look up with us.\u00a0 Do you see the \u201cfields\u201d of the world yet to be reached with the Gospel?\u00a0 The harvest field is incredibly large.\u00a0 Billions of people die each day without ever hearing the name of Jesus, let alone that He is God and Savior.\u00a0 Will you pray about how God would use you as our partner in reaching the unreached?\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are all missionaries.\u00a0 Some of us make it our life\u2019s call to serve full time in missions work. We are trusting God to supply our financial needs through others as we follow His leading (Matt 10:9-10).\u00a0 Sue and I covet your prayers for the ministry into which God has led us.\u00a0 We also ask you to prayerfully consider financially partnering with us in this great work of training many to go out into the yet unreached fields of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
