A lot of the places we’ve thought of as ‘mission fields’ are actually full of Christians now, and they don’t need our help anymore. This is great, but is there any place left for missionaries to go?

There are still a few places in the world where hardly anyone knows Jesus. People living in these places almost never get a chance to meet a follower of Christ face-to-face, especially not one that speaks their language.

In fact, 1/4 of the world has no personal access to a follower of Jesus. (stat) 86% of all Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists do not know a Christian. (stat) That leaves a lot of people that you can go to.

Go somewhere unreached, somewhere where people don’t know him, and start from scratch. Go somewhere, learn a language, and be the only living ambassador of Christ that people ever meet.

There are millions of people eagerly waiting for someone just to come and take the time to talk to them. And most of the time, they’re incredibly friendly.

“It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.”

(Romans 15:20)
