Spiritual Poverty

Jesus told us to go and make converts of the world.  There is a real need to tell the world about the Love of God and what He was willing to do to bring you to Him - in His forgiveness, His Salvation and His future for you.
 
The peoples of the earth have a need to learn to follow Jesus and enter His Kingdom, we must remove every language barrier in the world to do so, with three things:
1.  Church
2.  Scripture
3.  Changed lives
1. What would your life be like without the Bible?
No access to it.
No ability to read it.
You never saw a Bible in your language ... what would you pay for such an item?

We are drowning in copies of unread Bibles in this country.
Yet, it is a forbidden text all over the world!
Closed countries (communist and Islamic) will imprison you for just possessing a Bible!
People write what they hear on scraps on paper and cherish those scraps!

And in the abundance of God's Word, most do not even read it ...
2. What would your life be like without the Church?
Who would teach you what the Bible says?
1,200 language groups with no Church.
Someone has to go, someone has to teach, someone has to witness.
Some one has to be sent ...

3. What if you didn’t have Church or Scripture?
1,800 language groups with no Church or Scripture.
Extremely poor countries have this problem.
Bibles on tape and CD have helped to spread the Gospel.
Solar powered devices help to play those tapes and CD's.

If you can not do ... please consider supporting those whom do work on Bible translation and Church planting to unreached peoples.  Some example of those whom do:

HCJB Radio
Jungle Aviation 
Lutheran Bible Translators
New Tribe Missions
Pioneer Bible Translators
Trans World Radio
Wycliffe Bible Translators
