The Need and Challenge
"Let my heart be broken with the things which break the heart of God."—Bob Pierce
- Over 1.1 billion people still have little or no chance to hear of Jesus unless someone crosses cultural barriers and goes to tell them.
- The church is sending only 4000 of its over 300,000 missionaries to them.
- Christians are providing only 1.2% of their mission funding for this purpose.
- 85% of the world's poorest nations are in the unevangelized world.
- A materialistic, secularistic and relativistic Western world needs to be re-evangelized with a special focus on the younger generation, increasingly unaware of basic biblical teaching.
- Amidst growing worldwide pluralism, the Church must uncompromisingly proclaim the utter uniqueness of Jesus and His absolute authority as God come in the flesh.
