And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. (Hab 2:2)
To The Ends of the Earth - Looking Back
For those who are counting, this is the 104th edition of To The Ends of The Earth. It's been exactly 2 years since the first prayer email went out! I was going to reflect a little on where we've been, but then I felt the LORD saying, "Look forward." So...
To The Ends of the Earth - Looking Forward
God has truly done wonderful works through the prayers of this list!! This only encourages me, over the next year, to believe God for even more. A few future goals:
1) Increase the number of pray-ers for Apostolic Christian missions and unreached people groups.
2) Increase the amount of prayer for Apostolic Christian missions and unreached people groups.
3) Provide information that will inform and inspire specific and strategic prayer for Apostolic Christian missions and unreached people groups.
Brothers and sisters, God has accomplished much through your prayers. However, the global challenge before us is incredible...both in terms of reaching unreached people groups and informing and inspiring Christians to have a heart for all the nations of the earth! Just consider these two statistics:
*American evangelicals could provide all of the funds needed to plant a church in all of the remaining 6,400 unreached people groups with only 0.2% of their income.
*If all the missionaries needed to reach all of the remaining people groups came from the United States, less than 0.5% of American evangelicals aged 18 - 35 could form the teams required to do it! It's so do-able!!
The vision before us is great, but the God above us is greater!! I look forward to praying with you in the next year. If you've got any reflections on praying for the last 2 years OR thoughts about praying during the next year, feel free to let me know. I truly praise God for each of you!! Let's pray in FAITH!
