Did you know that there is one full time Christian worker for every 200 people in the United States. There is one full time Christian worker for every 200,000 people in India. There is one full time worker for every 2 million people in Algeria, Northern Africa. In Asia that part of the world known as the 10/40 window there is one full time worker for every 5.4 million people.
In fact today there are over 3 billion people who cannot hear the gospel because there is no one to tell them. Of these 3 billion people 75, 000 of them die everyday that is 40 million every year die without ever hearing the gospel.
Just recently I was in Cambodia for some gospel meetings. Here is a country of great opportunity. 77% of the population is below the age 27. 50% of the population is below the age 15. (Statistically I am told that 85% of everyone that gets saved is below the age of 18) what a land of opportunity. There are 600,000 children that are orphaned-whose parents have died of AIDS-here are children that should be in good Christian orphanages being trained to be soldiers for the Lord. In the capitol city of Phonm Phen there are over 300,000 ladies that work in the garment factories-these ladies come from the country side they are lonely and should be in Bible studies. Although this is a country of great opportunity Christianity in Cambodia still hovers at around 1% because the “labourers are few.”

We have seen thousands saved and established five churches with many outreaches and Bible studies on 50 different campuses throughout the Philippines. But for the last year we have wanted to start a new campus ministry reaching out to the thousands of Students in the university and campuses of Manila and other large cities in the Philippines. But we have not yet been able to go simply because the “labourers are few.”
When Jesus said, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few. (Matthew 9:37). He knew what He was talking about.
Over the last week I was privileged to take a couple trips to other places of interest in the northeast. As we drove across the land to our destination, I looked out upon miles and miles of well-manicured corn rows. No land is wasted; every square inch is used to grow something that is useful for living; very little if any land is left to grow just plain grass. Everything… Read More....
“He that drinks of the water that I give him shall never thirst again.”
HE THAT DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I GIVE HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST AGAIN!!! HEY!!!
That is my freedom! What is this searching in my life? What is this restlessness? What is this thirsting for something more? Jesus is all that I need.
Lately I read about the Philistines capturing the ark &… Read More....
I had a good last-time with Class A on Thursday. We played Jeopardy with a review of things we had studied. They make everything fun and hilarious!!! It’s hard to explain it – just little actions like J & M slapping the desk (part of the game) to answer at the exact same time. I can’t even remember the super-funny thing we were laughing about. It was so cute! So… Read More....
