Enough evangelism, but there are too many peoples never heard the gospel even once.

Still there will be 2 billion people never heard the gospel no matter what if we continue the same way of preaching the gospel.

World Population Foreign Missionaries

Missionary presence

95% of Christian workers focus on their own people

Of the 5% who become missionaries 80-90% focus on people groups which are majority Christian

Only 2.5 – 4% of missionaries are focused on the 25 - 28% of the world who are unreached

Only few young missionaries for the half of the young world population

Not many Asian young leaders in missions

Accessibility – do all people in the world have access to the gospel?

Possibility - Can we reach them all if we continue the same way of doing mission?

Transformability - Why not change the way of doing mission?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Albert Einstein

The youth must lead the half of the world youth population to Christ.

The youth must make disciples of other nationals in their school who are unreached.

The youth must go and make disciples of the unreached peoples around the world.

The youth must take leadership to transform the world for Christ.

Dare to finish the task by taking the gospel to 2 billion people, making disciples of 3000 unengaged

unreached peoples. Let’s adopt one Unengaged unreached people group

as my people! Would you give your two weeks to plant one church

among the unreached in 2010? Would you give two years of your golden life to plant

churches among the unreached?

Simply somebody just obey and go to the unreached peoples and tell the Story of Jesus Christ!

Jesus glorified God by completing the task through His life and death(John17).

Let’s glorify God by finishing the task of reaching all the unreached peoples.

If it is not worthy of dying for, it is not worthy of living for.
