Gain a World Vision

"Where there is no vision, the people wander without direction." (Prov. 29:18)

Many of you know that I have planted a garden for the first time in my life. Tomatoes are on the vines, as well as squash. The corn and beans are growing. There are blooms on the cucumber plants. All of the hard work and labor, from plowing, to sowing, to weeding, is all with a view to the harvest.

In John 4 Jesus compares the harvest to world evangelization. He says, "Don't say there are still four months until harvest. Lift up your eyes and notice that the fields are already white to harvest." While God has not called every Christian to be a vocational missionary, He has called every single one of us to devote our lives to being a witness for Him, at home and all the way to the ends of the earth. (Recall Acts 1:8).

Our 15th team in 26 months returns to Hopkins from two weeks in West Africa. We are working among a people group of 4 million, most of whom have not yet heard the Gospel. In the village where we work no one had ever preached the Gospel before we arrived. What about you? Who are you telling, and who else will you tell?

Pray that God will give to you a world vision. Ask Him to lead you to adopt His passion for the nations to hear and know the Gospel. You can pray for the peoples of the world. Some can go. If you cannot go, you can financially help others to go. For more information on world evangelization, contact me at brad@beulahbaptist.com.
