Ever since I was twelve years old, I have wanted to serve the Lord as a missionary. I have read countless books about missionaries who spent their entire lives serving the Lord in foreign countries, enduring great hardships, and sharing the Gospel with lost people.
These men and women who have already gone before me as Soldiers of the Cross have inspired me to live for something so much better than myself. They have challenged me to live for God alone and to spend my life making much of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My passion in life is to make much of Christ and I want to do this by serving the Lord as a missionary to the unreached. I want to go and share the Good News of Salvation with people who have never heard and I want to translate the Bible into their language.
However, I can not do this on my own. Only by God's grace and strength will this great passion that the Lord has given me come to pass. I can do nothing, but through Christ who strengthens me I can do everything (Philippians 4:13). I also need the prayers of faithful Christians to uphold my endeavor. God uses His children to bring about His plans and one of the ways He uses them is in prayer.
I beseach all of you who are Christians to prayer for the unreached people groups around the world. Join in my passion and pray that the unreached would be reached with the Gospel.
I think it is so easy for Christians in the twenty-first century to become consumed with "self" and to forget that God is not a part of our lives, but that He is our life. All of us only have a short time to live in this world, let us make the most of our time by making much of Christ with the time we have left.
