Our Lord’s command to reach the world has not lost it’s urgency, yet our frontline troops are retreating from the foreign mission field today in alarming numbers!
In the1950’s there were 100,000 missionaries and since 1950 we have had an alarming decline in the number of missionaries serving on the field. Today there are approximately 29,000 missionaries worldwide.
The bible says in II Samuel 10:9, “When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.”
How much longer will we continue to retreat while Satan’s forces continue to advance. The battle cry must be sounded so that the entire world may know there is a God, and that He may be glorified. To reach the Frontlines with the gospel it is going to take a messenger and the message. In Haggai 1:13 the Bible says, “Then spake Haggai the Lord 's messenger in the Lord' s message unto the people”. We must provide the Word of God in the heart language of the people, and we must raise up laborers who will take that message.
John 4:34 says, "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish His work"
We are using the acrostic MEAT to help people understand what we are doing to finish His work. The four areas of involvement that frontline will focus on are: Missions Projects, Enlisting and missionaries, Assisting Churches and Missionaries, and the Training of national pastors for church planting efforts.
Will you join with us in prayer, and in sounding the alarm that it is time to wake up out of sleep and to finish the task that our Lord started many years. Praise God, he has chosen each Christian to finish His task!
