Tomorrow night (God willing) I will be preaching in Amite, LA at the First Baptist Church there for a youth revival. My plan is to preach from Jonah 4 and show how the entire book of Jonah is a plea from Jonah for the people of God not to waste their lives. Jonah was 'caught' by God loving and setting his affection on that which will be here today and gone tomorrow, while God's affection is on the nations of the world.
In preparing for the message, I visited a couple of sites just to get an idea of the Great Commission Task still before us. It is frightening, big, revealing, and convicting.
I encourage you to click here to read some stats relating to unreached and unengaged peoples from Joshua Project.
Likewise, I encourage you to click here to read some very troubling statistics on poverty in the world via The Church at Brook Hills web-site.
God, help us!
