According to research conducted by the International Mission Board, there are currently 6,825 people groups in our world today where less than 2% of the population have an evangelical presence - that is bible-believing, gospel preaching Christians. Furthermore, there are 3,139 of these groups that are totally unengaged with the gospel. No evangelical church planting movement exists among these people at all. 339 of these groups have a population of more than 100,000 people. That means that over 4.18 billion people are considered unreached and nearly 200 million are unreached and unengaged with the gospel. I know those numbers seem unreal to us - they are hard to comprehend. Basically, about 60% of the current world population is unreached. Knowing what we know about the gospel – that, it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes - those numbers ought to break our hearts and keep us on our knees in prayer.

I truly believe that churches that have experienced a genuine reawakening from God will also experience renewed unity within their fellowship. What is the one common factor that keeps a church unified. Love.

Through church, we are encouraged and equipped to become better Christians. I happen to believe that church is, and ought to be, a place that no matter what is happening in your life, you can always feel safe and be welcomed home.

In order to experience a genuine reawakening in our lives, we must take a fresh look to the Word of God as our true source of authority and direction and as a change agent in our lives.
