The statistics
on this page depict the number of individuals in the world that still need
to be evangelized. When making a comparison to the number of
individuals in the world, the numbers are astounding. There is
such a need for the body of Christ to move out from the pews
into the streets of our towns, cities, and nations of the world
with the good news. Just image, there are enough professed
Christians in the world to reach every unbeliever with the
Gospel. It is not someone else's responsibility, it is ours.
Consider how many
people we come in contact with daily. A simple thing of handing
them a tract could be the difference between heaven and hell.
Some of us are called to plant seeds, some are called to water
them, and some are called to bring in the harvest. If the
planter fails to plant the seed, the work of drenching the
fields and bringing forth the harvest will be lost. We each have
a part to play. The Bible says that the body of Christ is fitly
joined together. Each part of the body working in sync with each
other.
"From whom the whole body
fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of
every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love." Ephesians 4:16
The work of
kingdom building is not rocket science, it is daily walking
through the world and as we walk we allow Christ to do His work
through us. God is asking us to make ourselves available to Him
moment by moment. You will find that there are numerous
opportunities to share the word each day, but we are hindered by
distractions. Yes, they are some people who will not receive you
today or any other day, nevertheless, we are commanded to spread
the good news. How will we know "whosoever will" if we never
make the attempt.
"For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
The
suggestions on the "Catch A Wave" page are ways that you can
gain the courage to step forward and spread the good news.
Often, it is just a matter of having your first experience to
become bold enough to share the word. No one expects any of us
to be a Billy Graham, but the person you seed, water, or harvest
might be the next Billy Graham.

Ministries website presents a myriad of suggestions and
ministries to become involved in. Every town and city in the
U.S.A. has a jail with individuals that need to hear the gospel.
How will they hear unless we tell them. You can visit the
US Census Bureau website to

poverty and
crime in the United State.
"95% of the 3.5 million Native
Americans in the United States" still needs to be
evangelized." There is truly a great need for Christ here.
"Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew
28:19:20
