a call to step UP


Believers must actively pursue being a part of fulfilling the Great Commission. Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...” (Matthew 28:19) He said, “this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) The church has had nearly 2000 years to share "this gospel of the kingdom" YET there are still nearly 9,000 people groups who have not heard the gospel (Joshua Project).

I urge you, dear brother's and sister's in Christ, to step up and get directly involved in fulfilling the Great Commission…especially among the UNREACHED.

I believe it all begins with PRAYER!!! 
Father God, we come to you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ asking that you give the church a renewed and urgent passion to fulfill the Great Commission. Awaken the church, awaken our hearts to seek first YOUR Kingdom. May your Kingdom come to the unreached, to every nation, tribe and tongue. Show us how to empty ourselves so the Holy Spirit might well up in us a spring of LOVE that will overflow and spread to the ends of the earth. Send us, Oh God…send the church to the darkest places so it might shine with the brightest LIGHT as the fullness of Christ transforms our lowly sinful bodies. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear.  Unite the church and make us one just as your Son is one with you. Fill us with zeal for your house…zeal for spreading Your Kingdom. Come Lord Jesus...the Spirit and the Bride say, Come!
