Why We Do Missions? 4.6 Billion!

Well, first of all, We are commanded to do Mission Work by The Lord Jesus Christ Himself!
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)

But let us look at another point that David Platt mentions so well in his book, "Radical".
As of me writing this post, today's world population is 7,028,976,806!
That is over Seven BILLION with a "B".

Liberally, the number of people in the world that claim to be Saved or "Christian" ends up being about One Third (1/3).  Most likely not all of them are Christ followers.  But if we assume they are, mathematically, this would and should lead us to believe that approximately +4.6 Billion people are NOT Saved!  Meaning, they are separated from God in their sins and would spend eternity in hell if nothing changes.


Can You Grasp that number... +4.6 BILLION People (Souls) that were made in God's own image and who He longs to have a relationship with, are LOST. This alone should be enough to cause us to say YES, Lord.... Here am I, send me!

Fact: Most of them live Outside of the United States.

Where in the Bible  is missions or mission work an optional program?  Being a Christian and following Christ as Lord puts ALL of us On Mission and those same words He spoke to His disciples, He spoke to us!


Another great point David Platt brings out is that so many people in the U.S. make comments like,
"What about our own people here in our communities or country?"  Most of these statements or comments are just smokescreens of people that do not want to heed the Call or be obedient to the Lord's Command.
I know, I used to be one of those guys saying the same exact thing but once I put my heart in line with His Heart and went to Uganda and saw first hand God's Moving through the Saving of Souls...

"It Blew My Mind!" and it will Bless Your Socks Off too!!!

So... won't you prayerfully consider a Short-Term Mission Trip?

Amazing News from Itukulu, Uganda

Awesome News from Uganda from one of our fellow Brothers-In-Christ, Reagan!

The email message below was sent/forwarded to us from Sister Terri Hansen.  Terri has been on numerous mission trips and works with the children in each of the villages we go and setup medical clinics while sharing the Love of God through Jesus Christ!

Just some info on Reagan: He has helped Terri and has a passion for working with the children by sharing the Good News of Jesus with them. I hope you enjoy the message and can see the blessing in it.

From: Terri

Subject: Joy from Itukulu

I have to share this with you guys!  I can't tell you how HUGE it blessed my heart!
You may remember how very disappointed I was that day we were headed to Itukulu and didn't make it because of the riots on the road on route.  Well, Reagan saw how very sad I was and promised me that he would go out to Itukulu with Grace, his precious bride, and do a children's program when he had the opportunity.
Since it was the last day of our mission on the field I left everything I had with him, my visuals, balls and stickers, New Testaments, and salvation bracelets.  Reagan has worked alongside me for two missions so he knows it all well!
So last week my heart was thrilled to receive these pictures....Reagan and Grace went to Itukulu and spent the day with the children!
This was the most huge HUG from God.  Many think we GO to bless, oh, I am the more rich one for the blessings I receive from going!

Messages from Reagan:
Joy from mom of baby here who reagan handed a bag to go on & carry food for the baby when she comes to work at world vision primary school.

[Terri always taught that the kids to Yell WooooHooooo, whenever something Excited and FUN was happening!]
The teaching was "woooohooooo" as I went on sharing the GOOD NEWS.
The children were very many about 246 but very ready to learn from GOD through me.
Glory Glory unto God!!!

Message from Grace:
Grace hugging Musa & Nambi after receiving Christ as their Savior!!! Glory!

Again, to repeat what Sister Terri  said earlier.... " We are blessed more than we ever go there to bless others!"

This is PROOF that Mission Trips of teaching and sharing the Gospel along side nationals WORKS because they continue working in the field even when we are away!

Because the Harvest is Soooo Plentiful!

Mukama Yebazibwe!
