Drowning in the Gospel

Drowning in the Gospel

The Lord has been opening my eyes to the reality

The Facts

In my last newsletter I wrote you all about how God has been teaching me of the importance of just being in His presence. The personal lesson came through the studying of passages on God's throne room. I now write to you about another important lesson I have been learning. As I gaze to the throne room of God, I see the One sitting on the throne pointing back to earth at the fields that are ready for harvesting.  The more time I spend with God, the more I understand His aching heart for the lost. My recent classes have been pivotal in opening my eyes to this truth.

The Stats

As we continue to do outreaches and have time of classes my heart keeps getting blessed by brokenness. As I live out the Gospel practically here in Mexico I am reminded of the Joy of sharing God's greatness. Then, in class we get to dive deep into the theology of missions. But, as I experience all of this, I can't help but think how blessed I am by my geographical location. There are so many people in the world who have no knowledge of God and so few people who are going out. In our class with Pastor Rob, I learned that only 1 out of 200,000 missionaries go to unreached people groups. More mind-blowing statistics and facts can be found on blackbox.earth; I highly encourage you to look at them.

The Acts

Lately, the Lord has been teaching me to be faithful where I am. I’ve been spending a lot of time in prayer, asking Him to prepare me for whatever He has next. While it’s frustrating to know there’s such a great need for missionaries and not yet be able to go, I’m choosing to use this season well by serving in local outreaches and learning to share the gospel as practically and faithfully as I can. My prayer is that God would use this time to shape me into a more effective witness for Christ.

The Strats

As I close, I want to encourage you to consider the millions of people who have never heard the gospel even once. We live in a culture where, in many ways, we are “drowning in the gospel”—we have access to churches, Bibles, and countless Christian resources. Yet there are still people waiting to hear the name of Jesus for the very first time. May the Lord help us lift our eyes beyond the walls of the church and see those who are truly in need of the Good News. Thank you for praying for me and partnering with me in this work. Through your prayers and support, we have the privilege of being the Lord’s hands and feet, bringing His love and the hope of the gospel to those who have never heard.

I am still in the process of raising the $2400 needed for the Calvary School of Missions. Please pray that the Lord would provide to cover the entire tuition. If you would like to partner with me in this new step of faith, you can click the giving link below.

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” - Revelation 7:9-10
