The worlds 10 largest countries by population are: China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Russia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Nigeria. These countries account for well over half the worlds population.

Hudson Taylor, Missionary to China once said, "It will not do to say that you have no special call to go … with these facts before you and with the command of the Lord Jesus to go and preach the gospel to every creature, you need rather to ascertain whether you have a special call to stay at home." Another missionary, Ion Keith-Falconer, made a similar statement when he said, “While vast continents are shrouded in darkness... the burden of proof lies upon you to show that the circumstances in which God has placed you were meant by God to keep you out of the foreign mission field." Not every Christian is called to go as far as these men, but maybe we could cover our town and then, “go into the next towns.” Amen!

“God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus.” – Jim Elliot
