Reaching the WORLD

DOES GOD HAVE A PLAN TO REACH EVERY NATION?

The open fields for evangelism and missions are getting smaller. More countries are saying "no American missionaries". Billions are behind closed doors when it comes to American missions. It is sad but too many Christians are assuming that this limits God's plan and they say we can't do missions there anymore.

I still believe that God has a plan that will allow every tongue and tribe and nation to hear the gospel. The question is; has He put people in your neighborhood that can be the messages to their own ethnic homeland. Maybe we don't need to go overseas to complete the job. Maybe each believer [you and me] should see themselves as a missionary to the immigrants who live near us. If you help them develop a spiritual passion for the lost they have ways whereby they can share the gospel with people of the same language group. Maybe a language group you never heard of.

Lift up your eyes to see the harvesters for the worldwide harvest.

How to Become a Practicing Church

Dear Friends of Ethnic to Ethnic Ministries

As I try to follow the vision for Multi-ethnic churches it seems that several things need to change from church traditions that I have known for over 60 years. I know that most younger men have approached ministry with more personal application of Scripture to daily life and social outreach so this is not all new. The article listed below has some thought provoking suggestions for reaching the culture we in which we live.

I would love to have some response, negative and positive.
