Reaching the Unreached

In Matthew 28.19-20, Jesus himself tells us to,

“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

There’s no doubt that Jesus is with us in this mission, without Him we have no hope in it at all! Yet there’s also no doubt, that we’re called to “go”. The job of global mission is not done, there are still so many unreached people groups across the world. So many people groups that have never heard of the name of Jesus and that are still therefore dead in their trespasses and sins, and so far from the Lord.

It’s therefore been so encouraging to me to have had some much contact in the last few weeks through the ‘Missionaries’ tab on our new ’SGC Missions’ website. We’re eager to play our part in this great commission as Sovereign Grace Churches, not just to the reached of the world, but also the unreached, nations that house some 3.23 billion people, some 41% of the world’s population.

I share this video with you below, a six minute video that starts and ends with John Piper talking about the unreached and missions, and has recently stirred and challenged me afresh in this. Maybe you’re reading this and this specific call of God is for you?

May our Saviour and King truly give us courage in this great endeavour, and establish the work of our hands. All for His glorious Name!
