Unreached of the Day

Just found this widget online at a friend's blog. I don't know how baptist the site is, it looks protestant to me. Even so, it does give you a automatic, visual reminder of people to pray for in unreached places around the world ("less than 5% evangelical Christians" is their definition).

It keeps the need for missions in your mind and heart. Check it out here: http://www.joshuaproject.net/upgotdfeed.php

Old Bibles

Bible Senders www.thebiblesenders.info is a IFB ministry based out of Walworth Baptist Church in Ulen, MN Our goals is to send Bibles (KJV), tracts, and other scripture to needy missionaries around the world. We accept used Bibles, good Bible based literature, dvds, cds, etc.

We also have a sister ministry www.afterdeathwhat.com which seeks to produce high quality tracts. All materials are free as the Lord provides.

If you have old Bibles, consider taking up a collection of them, and sending them off to be used!

Stats prepared by Gil Angers, Westside Baptist Church, Ken Fielder, Pastor 2004

If we had the same number of Christian workers in Canada and the US as are in North America there would be like seven churches (TOTAL) in both countries combined! That really puts in clear view how sadly lacking we are in missions support and how lazy and complacent we have become about a world that is dying. I also read that there are over 6,000 languages, and that roughly 3,000 of them do not have a translated Bible! According to one website, that works out to around 250 million people! What is gonna have to happen to wake America up and help them see how rich and lazy we have become?
