Yesterday we briefly mentioned one reason why western Christians aren't going to work among the unreached. Today I just want to mention two numbers that highlight how absurd it is that we, as evangelical Christians, aren't doing more to join with Father in fulfilling His mission. That mission can be summed up by what we see in Revelations 7:9, a great multitude of people from EVERY nation gathered around the throne praising the Lamb.
- In 2001 the US Center for World Missions produced a study which showed a ratio of 900 churches to every unreached people group left in the world! This number has most likely grown over the past ten plus years.
- Even more astounding to me, is that for every unreached people group there are 95,000 evangelical Christians.
With numbers like this, we have no excuse for not putting more effort into fulfilling the Great Commission.
