Do you believe that we owe it to our generation to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Is our salvation and knowledge of Jesus’ life-changing, transformational, supernatural power something that should be contained?
When people groups are without the Gospel, they are affected on every side. Knowing Jesus, and knowing the truth changes your perception about everything. Spiritual blindness does not just affect our spirit—it affects our entire being. The truth sets people free; without it they fight alone in bondage. With every second that goes by, there are people in this world that will face another day with Christ, and feel the onslaught of the enemy. They will remain this way unless we, as believers, go into all the world with the Gospel. They will live in sickness, in poverty, in depression, in hopelessness, and in danger of losing their soul for eternity unless someone proclaims the Good News to them.
It is very easy in the West to intentionally blind ourselves to the destitution the majority of our world lives in. If we don’t think about the poor or the lost, then we do not have to do anything about it. If we consume our days with a busy schedule, we will feel accomplished. Activity, however, does not equal accomplishment. We must be busy with our assignment from God, to reach a lost generation for Him, and not concern ourselves with menial tasks of the day.
Jesus says, in Matthew 16:24-26, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” In other words, we should not pursue anything in this world that could override our desire to follow Jesus. If we are truly following Jesus, we will soon encounter someone who needs Him. Pray and support Global Infusion, as we follow Jesus to the ends of the earth to reach those who need Him desperately. Also pray for our next GI teams that are being sent out in November to India and Thailand.
