Looking into Different Missions Agencies

Recently we have been looking into different missions agencies. There are tons! We desire to translate the Bible, so that narrows our search to less, but still the task of finding one that is a good fit for our family has not been an obvious choice. But in all our searching we have been re-educated about the need in world missions. Sometimes the task seems too large, but then again, the Bible declares, "Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust on the scales; look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing. " (Isaiah 40:15)  One missionary agencyh website stated the following: "Where to begin?... Would you consider the UNENGAGED? Hundreds of Muslim people groups are unreached. But did you know that there are roughly 247 Muslim people groups with a population over 100,000 that currently don't have a single person trying to plant the gospel among them; they're unengaged. People are needed to form new teams and do the difficult task of pioneering into new areas, so that these groups might have their first witness to Christ." We are praying that the Lord would direct our path and maybe send us to one of these "unengaged" peoples. We shall see! What a journey to be on!

  1. I'll be excited to see where God takes you guys. We have known a number of people with Frontiers and it seems like a great agency.
