When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, "You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages". To that, Calvert replied, "We died before we came here". Believers who have the Gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves. Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story.

The single most important hindrance to world evangelization right now is the lack of total involvement by the body of Christ.

Since when has obedience to Christ and His Gospel become optional to Christianity?

With all the decision making in my life, I often have to pause, look up and remember God is the One working behind the scenes. I say to myself, “He is able to work all things out for good. I just need to submit to Him and His ways. I can rest.

Lifting your eyes from the things of this world is an activity that must begin WHERE YOU ARE.

Every Christian in America has some minimal responsibility to get involved in helping the poor brethren in the church in other countries.

My plea to the Body of Christ is while we must do all we can to meet the needs of the suffering and dying millions, we must not see these activities as a substitute for evangelism and establishing churches among the unreached.
