The calamity at home (8)

This entry is Part 8 of 8 in the series Hindrances To Missions

Another excuse for not responding to the call of God goes like this, “But so many at home are not saved.”

It is true that there are many needs at home in fact I am told of the 300 million Americans only 28 million would be classified as evangelical believers that means there are 272 million Americans that still need to be reached with the gospel. There are 170 million Americans that are un-churched and 30 million of those are hard-core pagans that are anti-Christian. All though the needs of the United States are great the needs of the world are greater.

In the United States there is one full-time evangelical worker for every 200 hundred people. In India there is one full-time worker for every 200, 000 people. In Algeria, Northern Africa there is one full-time worker for every 2 million people. In Asia there is one full-time worker for every 5.4 million people. In fact in the world 1 out of 2 people cannot hear the gospel because there is no one to tell them.

We cannot neglect the call to world-wide missions because the needs at home are great.

To say, “We must first reach our country” before moving out to the mission field is to condemn ¾ of the world to an eternal hell and it is also to flatly disobey God’s great commission “to make disciples of all nations.”

Do not let the needs at home hinder you from answering God’s call to world-wide missions.

It’s a tradition for many Chinese families to do “Spring Cleaning” before the Lunar New Year to discard the “old” (Cleaning) and welcome the “new” (Spring). Some would take the opportunity to do this annual exercise to “get rid” of things that have been accumulated for years, things that had not been used, things that could not be used, things that were bought on impulse, and things that were not… Read More....

Our ministry in East Malaysia to the displaced Filipinos have been on going for more than a year – several hundred children who could not attend school now learn to read and write in our literacy centers. Sometimes we wonder about the kids we once met on our earlier trips – are they still faithfully attending school, how well can they read and write now? It is so heart warming… Read More.... | 1 Comment

A few days ago I received a SMS from an old friend, who organizes seminars and conferences for Bible-educators, requesting me to pray for him as he prepares to teach a course on evangelism to Bible-school students.

My reply to his SMS was: PTL! Just a gentle reminder that evangelism is caught not taught. So best evangelism seminar is held outside classroom and called “Follow me and I will… Read More.... | 1 Comment
