Sharing the Gospel with the Whole World
God's Word is plain in Matthew 28:19-20. Jesus commanded us as His disciples to take the Gospel to all of the people groups in the world and to make disciples in all of those groups. It is not God's will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. If you are a believer, what are you doing to fulfill Christ's command? That is something for each of us to consider.
This morning I read my prayer emails from the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board. One was a thanksgiving email asking us all to thank God for what He did last year through our Southern Baptist missionaries all around the globe. I want to share an excerpt with you tonight:
Please express your thanks to our heavenly Father, who faithfully and lovingly responds to our many prayers.
Throughout 2009, we prayed to the Lord of the harvest to thrust laborers into the fields, and He responded with 753 new workers being commissioned to serve abroad--326 long-term and 427 two-year missionaries.
We also prayed for the evangelistic ministries of our missionary personnel, and He blessed us with 506,019 new believers being baptized.
Another prayer request was for church-planting efforts, and God answered with 24,650 new churches being established.
We serve a truly amazing God. All praise and honor to Him, the One who loves all peoples and speaks into lost hearts around the world. May His name be high and lifted up . . .
Isn't that amazing? Look at what God can do with 5,000+ committed missionaries. Just think of what could be done, if we were all involved in praying, giving, and going!
Tomorrow, I intend to read Psalms 121-124.
