Many people wonder why we need to go on missions. Why not just stay in our own countries and reach our own countrymen?

If I were to be blunt about it, we Christian nations are spoiled and overfed. We play church while so many people are in spiritual starvation.

Today I realized that it is not enough for us to pray for ourselves, our loved ones, our churches, our nation. We have to pray for countries around the world.

We are here to proclaim freedom to the nations. We are here to let them know that Jesus is alive and He is for them. We are here to sound the drums, the trumpets and announce that the Savior has come and will be coming again.

Take up your cross, your Bible, and that map. We’re praying for the nations today.
