You love Jesus and you long to see Him face-to-face. You cherish what He has done for you, and you want to advance the everlasting gospel among those who have never heard of the Savior. But you wonder: What can I do from my local church? Perhaps you are a teacher in a Christian school and question how you can help reach those in regions beyond: What can I do to help young people go to the mission field?
There are several things you can do:
Pray that the Lord of the harvest will call more laborers to take the gospel to the unreached (Matthew 9:37-38).
Participate in a short-term mission trip and assist others in their efforts to go and serve.
Share this magazine with others — students, young families, and those you respect in your church and school. Tell them you appreciate the gifts God has given them. Invite them to consider becoming frontier missionaries with AFM.
Please consider this quote from the pen of inspiration:
“There are numbers that ought to become missionaries who never enter the field, because those who are united with them in church capacity or in our colleges, do not feel the burden of labor with them, to open before them the claims that God has upon all the powers, and do not pray with them and for them; and the eventful period which decides the plans and course of life passes, convictions, with them are stifled, other influences and inducements attract them, and temptations to seek worldly positions that will, they think, bring them money, take them into the worldly current. These young men might have been saved to the ministry through well-organized plans. If the churches in the different places do their duty, God will work with their efforts by his Spirit, and will supply faithful men to the ministry.” (Christian Education, p. 45)
We need your help finding those who God is calling into service. You can have a direct impact on helping an individual recognize their calling. When you see someone demonstrating ministry skills that would be of value in the mission field, let them know you appreciate that they are consecrating their talents to Jesus. Together we can help to advance the work of the everlasting gospel among the unreached peoples of the world and hasten the coming of the Savior.
