Four minute video of a pastor outlining reasons for intentionally realigning our thoughts and actions towards the evangelization of the unreached. His points:
- 40% of people in the world couldn’t hear the gospel even if they wanted to
- We want people to know Jesus because we love him
- Worldwide, at present we “kind of” make Jesus known
- We should endeavor to start church planting movements among peoples so that whole societies would worship God
I think his main points are really good. He uses the best available data and tries to appeal to our love for God and our global neighbors rather than fear or guilt. Personally, I wouldn’t use the idea of imbalance in Christian giving the way he does, just because I think a lot of people will jump to conclusions and miss his point, but I also understand how in four minutes you can’t be as detailed as you’d like to be. Overall it’s a great video, and I’m glad to share it. What do you think?
