WHAT SHALL WE THEN DO?
                       (What can one person do?)


The Great Commission to "GO" into all the world and preach the Gospel (Mark
16:15) and to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:20) is incumbant
on every believer, and every local church.  It cannot by passed off to
denominational officials, or to parachurch organization as though it were
"THEIR" task.  It is "OUR" task.  We therefore believe that every true
discipler of Jesus Christ will be a world-reacher.  There is too much to do
and too little time to do it.  We must MOBILIZE the army of lay men and
women in our churches to catch the vision of untold millions, still untold.

In our present age there are virtually no impenetrable countries.  Every
country has tourism and foreigners find ways and means to gain access to
those countries with a plethora of motives.  The church of Jesus Christ
needs to think creatively about the mission of reaching the unreached, and
the unreachable.  Every Western believer has within his grasp the potential
to travel to other countries, for business, for pleasure and tourism, for
research and study, for photograph, etc.   Friendship is probably the
strongest evangelistic tool ever given to us by God.  Making a friend in the
USA or Europe or South America with an international person from an
unreached culture is like gaining an open passport to visit your friend in
his country. Our colleges and universities are temming with international
students from just about everywhere on earth.

WHAT CAN WE DO?  Find ethnic minorities from unreached and hard-to-reach
cultures living in or around your own community, purposefully make friends
with them, take a genuine interest in their lives, and their salvation. Lead
an internation student to Christ and when he goes home he can and will
influence his culture for Christ as no missionary can ever do.

WHAT CAN WE DO?  We can embrace an unreached culture adopting it as our own
surrogate culture, learning their customs, language, foods, sports,
folklore, traditions, dress, etc. so as to fall in love with them and be
their passionate advocate before the throne of God, and before your church.
If no one cares about them they will continue to be neglected, forgotten and
unreached.  Your love makes a difference.

WHAT CAN WE DO?  We can establish a team of intercessors who have the same
passion for your lost people group, and who will share in your prayer burden
and in your adamant desire to see them reached.  Meet weekly or monthly in
your own home to study them, dress in their grab, eat their food, tell their
story, and pray for them.

WHAT CAN WE DO?  We can passionately sponsor the evangelization of your UPG
through aggressive support of those who are within their reach.  Find out
who is translating their Scriptures, showing the Jesus Film, doing church
planting, medical work, tentmaker ministries among them, and support them
financially and with encouraging notes.



CONCLUSION:

Jesus calls us to do what we can to reach out to an unreached "lost sheep"
that is not yet part of the fold. It was for this purpose that he came and
gave his life.  To do nothing is to defiantly oppose the work of the Lord
Jesus Christ himself and to make certain that one day before the throne of
judgement an un-named, forgotten, unreached person will point to you in
agony and say..."Why?...Why didn't your tell me?  Why didn't you do
something?"

Jesus is waiting for the obedient "harvesters" to finish the task.
