The stench of death was too much for my stomach to take.\u00a0 As a freshman in college I remember standing at a fellow college student\u2019s door as we broke into his room.\u00a0 The smell of death overwhelmed me as I stood at his door looking at his dead body.\u00a0\u00a0 There was nothing that I could do \u2013 it was too late. \u00a0\u00a0Physical death remains a reality.\u00a0 I will never like it, but I have learned to accept its reality.\u00a0 After trusting in Christ, I have also come to accept the reality of spiritual death.\u00a0 I don\u2019t like it either, but there is something I can do about it. \u00a0It is critical that we get to the door of physical death before it closes and seals a person for eternity in spiritual death.\u00a0 The problem is getting to the countless numbers of people all around this world with the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ before it is too late.<\/p>\n
Sue and I will be finished with our training with New Tribes Mission on May 21, 2010.\u00a0 We will be full time missionaries working on getting the Gospel out to those who have never heard.\u00a0 There are billions of people on this planet who have never heard of Christ, let alone that He died to pay sin\u2019s awful penalty for them.\u00a0 Though we can share Christ with those around us, as individuals, we cannot possibly get to each person on this planet to share the Good News of Christ\u2019s death and resurrection.\u00a0 However, we can be a part of the bigger picture of training many others who will go and share this truth of God\u2019s love for them found only in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
The apostle Paul asks four very important questions in Romans 10:14-15.\u00a0 \u201cBut how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him?\u00a0 And how can they believe in Him if they have never<\/span> heard about Him?\u00a0 And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?\u00a0 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0 Christians are involved in telling those they know about the Good News of Jesus Christ, offering them the rescue that God has provided in Jesus Christ. \u00a0\u00a0What about Paul\u2019s last question?<\/p>\n The last question Paul asked can still be answered by every Christian.\u00a0 The answer we each can give is that \u201cwe will send.\u201d\u00a0 There are those who are being trained to be sent all around the world to learn another language and culture so that the light of truth can pierce spiritual darkness.\u00a0 There are those who are training them to go and share the Good News of the Gospel.\u00a0 And there are many thousands of Christians in many churches who are fully engaged in \u201csending,\u201d both in prayer and financially, to make sure the Gospel is taken to where it is yet to be heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sue and I will be involved at New Tribes Bible Institute in the training and sending out of missionary teams throughout the world. \u00a0\u00a0We encourage all of you to be involved with this work as well.\u00a0\u00a0 You can join this great work by prayer, by financially giving to support this work, and even by being trained and sent as well.\u00a0\u00a0 Missionary teams can be sent worldwide as we partner together in this great work.\u00a0 Join us in this work as we look to see \u201cevery tribe and language and people and nation\u201d (Rev 5:9) reached with the Gospel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The stench of death was too much for my stomach to take.\u00a0 As a freshman in college I remember standing at a fellow college student\u2019s door as we broke into his room.\u00a0 The smell of death overwhelmed me as I stood at his door looking at his dead body.\u00a0\u00a0 There was nothing that I could […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":617,"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":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-79","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-ministry","7":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/617"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/todd-nelson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
