Christians are ambassadors for Christ. (2Cor.5:20) Wherever God has placed you, you are to be Christ's ambassador to those around you, your "neighbors," those with whom you come into contact in the day-to-day living out of life. When it comes to supporting foreign missions, then, where should priority be given? Where do we focus the bulk of our prayers and resources when we look beyond our personal sphere of influence? Too often, I fear, we think with our emotions, rather than considering reality from a biblical point of view. The question is not which nations have the greatest earthly poverty. The question is which nations lack a Christian witness. May we be compassionate to all as God gives opportunity, but may we never forget that the GREATEST compassion is to bring the good news of the gospel to the perishing. Eternity is at stake.The following video looks at one area of great need ... Asia.
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" (Rom.10:14-15)
