Every time I'm on a highway, and I see all the cars on the other side of the divider, or when I'm in a crowded room, I think about all of the different stories or individual lives that are going on. Each with their own problems, their own beliefs, their own habits.
This is a thought that my youth pastor/mentor shared with me and hit me in the car one day on our way to lunch. What he said hit me. The church of the world is not being the church it needs to be to reach everyone. We need to step it up.
In a study done in 2005, 33% of the world is christian. That means only one out of every three cars is driven by a christian. Only one out of three people in the crowded room is a christian. So what are YOU going to do to reach the 66% that are not christians? How are YOU going to affect the numbers in this study?
I urge you to pray for courage to begin and profess your faith to the world that hasn't heard the gospel! Maybe the opportunity is in your work place, your church, maybe even your house! You may be the only bible someone reads, you may be the only Jesus someone sees.
Matthew 9:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Thank you and God bless,
