Spend a few minutes on what countries are part of A. I am not doubting your numbers, but I'd like to know where you got your statistics. Btw... The USA has failed churches and everything is politicized. There are hundreds of millions doomed in the USA alone. Perhaps this message needs to also be directed to these Mega-Churches that needed to reroute their finance. Just a thought.
Thanks for your note. We get our information from Gordon Conwell Seminary. www.gordonconwell.edu/center-for-global-christianity/resources/status-of-global-christianity/ Yes, we feel like this video could be a prophetic message churches of all types in America and around the world to consider how we are using God’s resources for Kingdom advancement. Just a clarification - the A, B, C graphic is meant to be a pie chart rather than the countries that are under those letters on the globe. We see how that can be confusing. In the missions world, “unreached” refers to people with little to no access to the Gospel, not just “lostness” of people. Thanks for the note. Keep pursuing God’s Great Commission!

Paz do Senhor! Excelente vídeo, só tem um porém a volta de Cristo não está condicionado ao alcance do mundo todo, Jesus disse em Mateus 24:14: *_E este evangelho do Reino será pregado em todo o mundo, em testemunho a todas as gentes, e então virá o fim._* Virá o fim, não está relacionado a volta de Jesus e sim ao fim de todas as coisas. Quem irá concluir a pregação do evangelho serão os judeus e os que ficarem no arrebatamento e não a Igreja.

This video’s heart is in the right place. But it’s not that simple … What the video does not explain is that ALL countries have laws put in place to govern the social order of the nation. Said laws were enacted by people that God Himself has placed into positions of power in order to do so. People, especially illegal aliens, who break and violate these laws are in direct rebellion with God Himself.

Amazing video and powerful and challenging stats for the church. GOD bless you guys and will be praying for you to keep educating and inspiring the church to finish the task 😊🎉🙏🏻💙
I really like your focus on the Kingdom. That was indeed Jesus' main focus in all his preaching! "Seek first the Kingdom of God" - Matthew 6:33 What is unfortunate though is that from the second century onward many followers of Jesus started to interpret his Kingdom teaching seperated from it's original context - God's promises made to Abraham and all the prophetic proclamations of the so called Old Testament. Instead many "church fathers" were influenced by pagan philosophy (especially platonism). As a result of that an otherworldly, disembodied bliss replaced the actual Biblical hope: A restored earth, freed from the curse, where everything that went wrong in the fall will be made right again. God doesn't want to totally destroy all that He called several times "good" and "very good" in Genesis 1. Instead He will restore it to its original goodness. But this time Eden will not only be limited to some space in the Middle East, but will encompass the whole world! "And the Kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms UNDER the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; His Kingdom shall be an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." - Daniel 7:27
Thanks for the note. We're excited to all keeping seeking first the Kingdom and praying His Kingdom come together until we get to experience it in its fullness.
There is indeed need for strategy, but when most of churches resources in the west are spent in the west and not on missions and building up the very poor and ill equpped church in other places who don't have bibles , study bibles and other resources inc material ones.God help us to have a vision focused on these needs and find great joy and enthusiasm in serving these needs
Give to help the needy Christians in the non western world.There are 100s of millions of them without the basic material and spiritual resources they need.imagine if they were equipped and encouraged --how we miss the mark in this.See John 13,35
100s of millions of Christians in the world have very little material and spiritual resources while the western church has more than it ever had. Imagine if these needy christians were equipped with the resources they need , how they would be so much more effective and stronger.They lack bibles,study materials support and much of there physical needs. Give where the need is great for the furthering of the gospel with focus and vision,this gives much joy and enthusiasm for ourselves to as we play our part for God's glory
If you enjoyed this story of the bible then please remember this statistic from the bible society ---'There are 80 million requests for bibles that go unmet due to lack of funds'. You and i can do something about it! Multitudes if people are begging for this book!
Very sad statistics, but not at all surprising. Give to missions locally and worldwide. There are 100s if millions of Christians without material and spiritual resources that are greatly needed. You will find great joy and purpose in giving to charities and mission that fulfil the great commission.Just di your own homework on what you support. This is a very important video and well produced, thankyou
I DON'T BUY IT. I've preached the gospel worldwide, and I'm yet to find a culture that doesn't have laws and punishments for crimes. The Gospel is clearly presented in Scripture in terms of a courtroom, the just substituting Himself for the unjust. If substitution is absent when you preach, you have failed to preach the Gospel.
@@melwofford6099 I've been taught this concept for seven years now, and I'm telling you that if the gospel isn't presented in terms of substitution (the innocent for the guilty), it isn't the gospel. You need to actually refute my comment or else I'd say you missed the whole point of what I said.
Hey @@matthewtarpley948! We just released a new video about the Gospel of the Kingdom that also shares about the need for Christians to proclaim not only that Jesus is Savior, but also that “Jesus is King” and “Jesus is Lord”. The Gospel definitely includes substitutionary atonement, but it may include even more Good News than that. There are many atonement theories that can be justified biblically; what if all of them give us different lenses, perspectives, and insights on this great, glorious Gospel? At our Missionary Training School, we get a concordance or Bible program and look up the words “Gospel” and “Good News” and find every time in Scripture those words are mentioned and try to answer the question holistically looking at all of Scripture “What is our message?” Blessings as you continue to study the Scriptures and share the Gospel worldwide.
@@globalfrontiermissions I agree that there are aspects of many atonement theories that contain truth. The Gospel is much more than substitution, but certainly nothing less. My concern is that missionaries may present Christ in the fear/power category, and people would make professions of faith in Christ merely because He is stronger than the evil spirits around them. Yet, they have not understood their sin and the fact that they're deserving of damnation and that Christ bore their sin and rose from the dead. It is more than substitution, but it can never be less. Thanks for your reply!
No wonder so many people hate Christians. I was born again in Christ but I don’t feel the need to force others to accept the concepts you folks espouse.
Gracias! Thanks so much for putting it in an easy but still profound way. After leaving among UPGs in Asia for over 20 years I have to say that I have witnessed what you say here. God is a marvelous God who is not limited by our "discoveries"!
