OPEN MESSAGE TO CHURCHES: Missionaries Are Still Needed

Evangelical churches are responsible to help fulfill the commands of the Great Commission to send the Gospel to all nations!

Whether your church is 75 people or 3,000, please take this need of sending missionaries seriously: to pray, work, train, and trust God to send one or two missionaries from your church yearly. Yes, yearly!

Men and women missionaries ages 25-55 are especially needed to work with the 153 million orphans and the 150 million street children worldwide.

Mature, godly men, ages 35-75, are needed to encourage and help train over 3 million untrained and undertrained needy pastors throughout the world, an estimated 49,000 in the Philippines.

Evangelical men and women of all ages, but especially older, are requested to work with prisoners in the jails and prisons of the world, and with their families on the outside. Some jail cells in Asia, Africa and Latin America, made for 12 prisoners are crowded with 50.

Are missionaries really needed these days?

At least 2 billion people in the world have no near-neighbor Christian to tell them of Christ and the salvation available only through Him. If your church sent 1 missionary to serve 10,000 of these unreached people (street children, prisoners, etc.), this would total 199,999 additional missionaries are needed now!

So dear friend, will you rise to the need and trust God to send one or two missionaries from your church this year?

Jesus said, Go...and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19).
