Is There A Need?

Yes, there is a need.  A need for what you may ask?  A need for missionaries in the United States.  Recently, we met a young lady in a Bible belt state.  This young lady was probably in her early to mid 20’s and had grown up in a northern state.  After some time getting to know her, Seth enjoyed her company as a friend and they had a great time playing together.  As he is so prone to do, he decided it was time to preach and sing.  He wanted to sing Jesus Loves Me and asked this young lady to sing along.  She told him she did not know that song and had never heard it.  I was shocked.  However, it reminded me that there are people all around us that do not know the saving grace of Christ.  There are people that live in the south, in the Bible belt, that have never even heard Jesus Loves Me.  We must be busy.  I am afraid that so many times we concentrate on the rest of the world, and there is a great need there, but we are losing our own country.  Let’s determine that our own neighbors and fellow citizens will not be left out on the Gospel message.  Let’s do our part to take it to them as well as the rest of the world.
