I was saddened to read that there are still 4,490 unreached people groups in the world today not having heard the gospel. I remember hearing a similar statement when I was a teenager. I wonder how different the number is today than it was some seventy years ago.
I have not been called to share the gospel in a distant land, my calling is to share the ‘good news’ with my neighbours and people I meet every day. People so often tell me that they used to go to Sunday School as a child but attending a place of worship as a child doesn’t make them Christians!
As Hudson Taylor said, ‘The Great Commission is not an option to be considered, it is a command to be obeyed. ‘ So where do we go, who do we tell? We can’t just scatter the gospel anywhere, we must go where God wants us. He knows the situations where He can use us. He tells us in Matthew 28:20 ‘I am with you.’ He is the special ingredient, He will be with us. But where? It reminds me of the beginning part of my car registration DKA – Don’t Know Anything. I don’t know anything but He knows everything. Our job is to be obedient.
