We went over there to tell people the gospel, to reach un-reached people for Christ, to love the lost, to share the good news with people who who might never hear it otherwise. It seems unfathomable to me that there are people in the world that have never heard the Gospel, ever. Back home there are so many that have not understood or even accepted the message of Christ, but they at least will be held accountable for knowing what they rejected. But there are hundreds of thousands of people who have never heard. They have never had the oppertunity to hear the message.
It is such a privilage to tell these people the life changing message of Christ. Something that really struck me was Binay said we are not comanded to convert people that's the work of the Holy Spirit we are just comanded to tell them. That is our comand. How wonderful that the burden is not on us? And how much of a blessing is it that God uses tiny broken humans in His olan for salvation? What a privlage!
“for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!””

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere, that Jesus Christ is Lord.
