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.
The shock of everything is now starting to sink in and the dust is starting to settle some.

She was excited and told me that she had one too and was a part of God’s family. I knew there was something different about her. She took such gentle care of her… Read More....
A few months ago I was thinking to myself, “I don’t have any real China stories.” A ‘China’ story is the kind that can only happen to you in China (of course) but really sets your time here apart from anything else you’ve experienced in your life; it’s something that you think, “I’ve never experienced anything like this!” and somehow it changes you. Well, it finally happened. After two years… Read More....
well said and documented. We must shed this me first mentality otherwise nothing is going to happen. Sad but true.
