This is not an invitation to an easy life......

3% of all the Christian missionaries are found in the "unreached" demographic

Has the church doubted the sovereign presence of God (...I am with you always...Matt 28.20), acquired insensitive hearts for the cares of this world (Luke 21.34), or have an ever decreasing understanding of our message (Declare his glory among the nations....Ps 96.3)

"The Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time" - Carl F.H. Henry

"Go, Send, or Disobey" - John Piper

"Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been" - John (Revelation 6.11)

"This central message of Scripture pertains to the central mission of the people of God, a mission that, tragically, many Christians do no understand or are unwilling to fulfill. It seems obvious that some Christians think little about their mission in this world... In His incarnation, Jesus glorified the Father by accomplishing His mission of providing eternal life to those who trust in Him, by reconciling lost men to the God they had forsaken. Jesus' supreme purpose on earth was 'to seek and to save that which was lost' (Luke 19.10). That is therefore also the supreme mission of Christ's church...Fellowship, teaching, and praise are not the mission of the church but are rather the preparation of the church to fulfill its mission of winning the lost." - John MacArthur on Matthew 28.16-20
